The activities and focus of WISE is a testament to the group's commitment to enhancing the role of women in the security industry. WISE is not just talking about change, they’re making it happen. As we look forward to more from this dynamic group, it's clear that the future for women in security is brighter than ever.”

The California Alarm Association, known for leading industry respected initiatives and promoting professionalism and growth within the electronic security industry in California and beyond, continues to reinforce their mission to be an industry advocate and a trusted resource for safety and security information and services.
