Moceri, Entwistle to be Honored at SIA Awards Dinner

SIA has selected Dan Moceri as the 2023 recipient of the George R. Lippert Memorial Award, an honor presented annually to a distinguished individual for long-term, selfless service to the security industry and to SIA. Moceri is a longtime SIA member and former SIA Board of Directors and Executive Committee member.

Moceri is the co-founder and executive chairman of Convergint, a global systems integrator with a workforce of nearly 10,000 colleagues spread across more than 200 offices worldwide.

He is also a partner in Moceri + Roszak, a Chicago-based real estate developer. Moceri has been an active and involved member of the SIA Board of Directors, and while he is no longer on the board, he supports and encourages others at his company to participate in a variety of SIA activities and initiatives, including the Security Industry Compensation Study, the SIA Women in Security Forum, the Securing New Ground conference and SIA’s training programs. He has also been highly engaged in industry workforce development efforts.

Martha Entwistle has been named as the 2023 recipient of the SIA Progress Award, an honor presented by SIA’s Women in Security Forum (WISF) celebrating individuals who pave the way to success for women in the security industry.

Entwistle is senior manager, corporate communications for Eagle Eye Networks, where she leads global communications and public relations strategy and execution for the organization. She has worked in the security industry since 2005, first as a business journalist and more recently as a strategic communications and media relations professional for global security companies.

She was named to the 2022 SIA Women in Security Forum Power 100, and in 2013 she was honored by the Women’s Security Council as a Woman of the Year. She serves on the SIA WISF Steering Committee and is chair of the WISF Scholarship Committee.

Moceri and Entwistle will be recognized with their awards Nov. 15, during the 2023 SIA Honors Night reception.
