David’s dedication to the security industry, his distinguished
performance for the advancement of the industry, his leadership roles on
both the national and state levels, his work on several ESA committees,
and his tireless support of the association have led to his selection
as this year’s Morris F. Weinstock Person of the Year.
In 1981,
David became involved with the security industry as a central station
dispatcher for Mid-Wisconsin Security. Subsequently, he has held a
number of management positions in firms large and small that have
provided a variety of security services including electronic access
control, intrusion and fire alarm systems, uniformed security officers
and patrol services, central station monitoring services and
locksmithing. His experience includes sales, system installation,
project management, design, budgeting, consulting and business
management. David’s leadership role in association activities
resulted in a well-deserved 2010 Sara E. Jackson Memorial Award. The
Jackson award is named in honor of the 1950-51 ESA President Sara E.
Jackson, and is presented to an ESA committee chair who has displayed
outstanding leadership. Over the years, David’s involvement in ESA
included chairing the Budget/Audit and Investment committees as well as
serving on the Executive, Education and Political Action committees. "This
great honor is a tribute to everything David has done for ESA and the
security industry,” said Dan Budinoff, recipient of last year’s Morris
F. Weinstock Person of the Year award. "I can’t think of a better person
to succeed me as the winner of this award.” In addition, David
has served as treasurer of ESA since 2007 and continues to be
instrumental in the financial stability and preservation of the
association. "David’s knowledge, experience, and leadership have had a
significant impact on our association and the industry,” said ESA
President John Knox. "We are proud to honor David with this award for
the countless hours he has dedicated to ESA as a volunteer leader.” In recent years, the Weinstock Award has been revealed during the Electronic Security Expo (ESX).
However, this year, and going forward, the recipient of the Weinstock
Award will be announced at the Leadership Summit, and the formal
presentation of the award will take place at ESX. This year’s ESA
Weinstock/Jackson Award celebration will be held in Nashville, Tenn. on
June 18, 2013. The Weinstock award was first presented in 1970 to
honor the lifetime volunteer work of the ESA co-founder and past
president. Introduced by the family of Morris F. Weinstock, this award
continues to recognize volunteer leadership for ESA. The award is
graciously sponsored by Interlogix, ESA’s exclusive Diamond Executive Strategic Partner.
