What is ESA?
For more than 60 years, the National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (ESA) has supported the changing needs of its members, the industry and the nation. A non-profit 501(c) 6 trade association, the ESA has evolved into the largest professional trade association in the United States with the purpose of representing, promoting and enhancing the growth and professional development of the electronic life safety, security, and integrated systems industry. In cooperation with a federation of state associations, ESA provides government advocacy and delivers timely information, professional development tools, products and services that members use to grow and prosper their businesses.
A positive advocate for the electronic life safety, security, and integrated systems industry, ESA works at all levels to increase awareness about the value of the products and services members provide. The association supports new technology and applications with customized and relevant training and proactively promotes the industry through consumer awareness activities supported by trade and media relations programs. ESA also supports legislation and regulations that enhance public safety.
The ESA is guided by strong leadership and a commitment to the advancement of technology and professionalism in our industry. This commitment has put the ESA on a strong foundation that includes financial stability and recognition as the only professional trade association that works every day on the local, state and national level to address issues vital to the well-being of the industry.
