Loyd Ivey, founder and CEO of Mitek Corp., received NSCA’s Per Haugen Lifetime Achievement Award for his years of dedication, leadership, and service to NSCA, says the organization. He’s been involved in the NSCA Education Foundation Board, the NSCA Expo Committee, the Fall Business Conference (now the Business and Leadership Conference), and many other NSCA events and activities.

The 2009 Volunteer of the Year Award went to Steve Emspak, managing partner at Shen Milson & Wilke. Emspak has been an advocate for NSCA for several years. Through this time, Emspak participated on the NSCA Industry Advisory Board, leveraging relationships and introducing companies, associations, and partners to NSCA activities and events. His involvement with the NSCA Education Foundation has created opportunities for development of the next generation of system integrators through events and sponsorships of Foundation activities, such as the annual industry concert headlined by the Drunk Unkles, an industry blues band in which Emspak plays guitar.

Dan Erickson, vice president of General Communications, received the 2008 NSCA Educator of the Year Award. Erickson received this award based on student feedback from his course, “Networking Issues that Impact AV Integrators and Designers,” which he taught for the College of System Design during NSCA University at InfoComm 08.

“This year’s recipients embody the type of individuals needed to help advance and grow the commercial electronics system industry,” said Chuck Wilson, executive director of NSCA, in a statement. “The service and dedication to NSCA is what has made this association what it is today. It is our hope that the future generations will learn and bring similar dedication and service to their careers and the industry.”

Instructors of the Year include: Karl Rosenberg, Extron Electronics, College of Technical Knowledge for his course “Aspect Ratios: Why are there so many?”; David Marsh, College of System Design, for his course “Sound Reinforcement Design”; Marc Forman, Alarm Electronics & Communications, College of Systems Sales, for his course “Better Ways to Estimate Your Projects”; Brad Nelson, System Solutions Northwest, College of Business, for his course “Top 10 Reasons Your Company May Fail and How to Fix Them”; and Ben Wilson, Safeguard Security & Communications, College of Project Management, for his course “Operation Best Practices for Project Managers.”

NSCA also announced that the 2010 NSCA Business and Leadership Conference, sponsored by InfoComm International, will be held February 25-27, 2010, in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., at the PGA National Resort and Spa.

The event for executives and managers in the commercial electronic systems industry, will feature industry experts discussing issues that affect AV pros and their ability to do business.

“The 2009 conference was a great success for the attendees who brought home real solutions for real problems,” said Wilson. “NSCA is looking forward to hosting the 2010 event to offer more success strategies to business owners and managers within the industry.”
