January President's Message

As we begin 2026, I want to thank each of you for the role you play in making the OSFAA such a strong and engaged association. A new year always brings fresh opportunities, and OSFAA is kicking things off with meaningful opportunities designed to help your business grow, connect, and thrive.

During this webinar, Spencer will provide a high-level, data-driven look at how leading security and fire alarm companies are performing, and where opportunities exist to improve profitability, cash flow, and operational efficiency. Spencer will walk through the financial benchmarks that are essential to track to run a better business, including cost structures, margins, labor efficiency, and overall financial health.

This session offers more than just numbers. It’s an opportunity to evaluate how your organization compares to industry peers and to use that insight to guide smarter strategic planning and growth decisions. Whether you are looking to validate current performance, identify operational gaps, or position your company for future capital infusion or a potential sale, this is information that can have a direct impact on your bottom line.

In addition to valuable educational programming, we are excited to share that OSFAA has expanded our events calendar for 2026. We are especially thrilled to introduce a brand-new event — the OSFAA Spring Expo in Medina, Ohio.

This is not your typical industry gathering. The Spring Expo will feature an exhilarating and entertaining backdrop at The Foundry Social and includes:

• Vendor exhibits showcasing the latest products and services
• Outstanding networking opportunities with fellow professionals
• Educational sessions to keep you informed and competitive
• Lunch included with registration
• And for a little fun — High-Voltage Karting to cap off the day!!

OSFAA continues to focus on delivering real value to our members through education, advocacy, and connection. I encourage you to make the most of your membership by participating in these upcoming events and inviting key members of your leadership team to join you. If you are not a member yet, now is the time to join here!

I look forward to seeing many of you, virtually and in person, in the months ahead!!

Wishing you a successful and prosperous year,

Sincerely,
