Government & Industry Representation

How do we advocate for you?

In the modern world of business and industry, trade associations play a vital role in representing the interests of their members. For sectors like the life safety and property protection industry navigating the complex landscape of public policy and regulation is crucial. This is where the role of a lobbyist becomes invaluable. The use of lobbyists is a strategic approach to advocacy that offers numerous benefits. From effective representation and influence on policy to access to decision-makers and information gathering, lobbyists play a crucial role in advancing the interests of the alarm industry. By harnessing the expertise, networks, and advocacy skills of lobbyists, life safety and property protection associations can navigate the complexities of the political landscape, shape favorable policies, and ensure the continued growth and success of their members.



Our Lobbyist, Kevin Cunningham of Southern Strategy Group is in our corner monitoring, gathering information, gaining access to the decision makers, building coalitions and partnerships and fighting by our sides should any legislation be presented that would have a negative effect on the life safety and property protection industries.
