March President's Message

Dear Members and Friends of CASIA,

Spring is in the air, and CASIA is off to a fantastic start this year! Our March Membership Meeting was a huge success, with an incredible turnout from our members. A special thank you to Andy Markowski, who provided an insightful legislative update, keeping us informed on the key issues impacting our industry. Staying engaged in legislative matters is crucial, and CASIA remains committed to advocating for our members.

Looking ahead, our April Membership Meeting is shaping up to be another must-attend event! We’re excited to welcome a nationally recognized industry consultant who will dive into Strategic Planning—a critical tool for setting your business up for long-term success. Whether you're looking to scale your company, improve operational efficiency, or future-proof your business, this session will provide invaluable insights. 

We are also incredibly excited to announce the launch of an entire online training program through CASIA! This initiative is designed to help our members and the industry at large put their teams on a solid professional development path. Investing in training is one of the smartest moves a company can make, and with this new online platform, CASIA members will have access to high-quality, industry-focused education anytime, anywhere. 

And while it may seem a little early, we all know how fast time flies—so mark your calendars for June 12th, when CASIA will host its legendary Lobster Bake at the newly renovated Penfield Pavilion on Fairfield Beach! This event is a true highlight of the year, bringing together professionals from across New England for an evening of great food, great company, and great networking. Picture this: lobsters, ribeye steaks, great music, and a stunning beach backdrop—what better way to connect with industry peers and unwind?

But wait, there’s more! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our All-New CASIA October Fest Expo, happening on October 16th! This will be a one-of-a-kind industry event, bringing together top vendors, industry experts, and security professionals for a day filled with education, networking, and hands-on product showcases. Whether you're looking for the latest technology, business growth strategies, or just a chance to connect with key players in our industry, this is an event you do not want to miss! Mark your calendars now—you’ll hear more details soon!

Make sure to register early for both our April Meeting and the CASIA Lobster Bake, and be sure to save the date for the October Fest Expo!

Sincerely,

Jim Carey
CASIA President
