On Tuesday, August 11, members of the New Jersey Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NJBFAA) voted to remain a chapter of NBFAA.

Throughout the decision-making process, NBFAA reiterated the benefits of being associated with a national association, such as strong representation on Capitol Hill and unified positions on issues impacting the industry. Additionally, supporters of NBFAA voiced their beliefs that NBFAA’s alliance of chapters provided value on the local, state and national levels through networking, support and representation as every NBFAA chapter contributes to the strength of the industry’s ‘collective voice’.

Through their votes, NJBFAA said that they understand the value of being affiliated with a strong partner like NBFAA. Both NJBFAA and NBFAA leadership look forward to the future and to establishing open communications for the benefit of their membership.

“The NJBFAA is pleased this meeting turned out to be a win-win for both organizations. The members have spoken. The leadership for both groups will move forward in an effort to strengthen the relationship, keep the lines of communication open and continue to do what’s best for the dealers,” said Christopher Mack, president of NJBFAA.

“NBFAA is gratified that New Jersey will retain its chapter status in our national alliance. Our strength is our ability to influence issues across the country for the benefit of all members, and the re-commitment of NJBFAA reinforces our ability to do this,” said NBFAA President Mike Miller.
