New Convention Chairperson

We are excited to announce that Karen Shall has accepted the position of Convention Committee Chairperson. Karen and her Committe will organize and plan for the upcoming Dealer Conference and Annual Tradeshow/convention and Golf Tournament. Karen has been involved in the security industry for 20 years now. She originally accepted a sales position at ADI in 2003, then spent time working for Security Data Supply, Stanley Security, and just completed five years as a Regional Sales Manager with Napco Security Technologies. Karen enjoys being part of the security industry because of the fact that competitors are so helpful and friendly with each other. On her days off she loves beach vacations and spending time with her large family in New Orleans.

Karen says, “I’m looking forward to my new position with the LLSSA Convention Committee. It would be amazing for everyone to participate in the association and the convention so that the Louisiana Life Safety companies stay strong, united, and up to date on current laws/practices.
