Steve Mayer Named Emergency24 Vice President of Operations and Administration

DES PLAINES, IL – Steve Mayer has been named Vice President of Operations and Administration for Emergency24 and is replacing long-time executive, Patrick Devereaux, who has retired but remains with the company in an advisory role.

Before joining the Emergency24 team, Mayer was a VP of Operations in distribution. Previously, he worked in finance, operations, corporate real estate and procurement at United Airlines, Bally Fitness and Career Education.

“Steve’s diverse professional experience will allow him to delve into Emergency24’s operations with a unique and fresh perspective,” said Baird Larson, Vice President and Director of Technology. “We selected Steve because he demonstrated the ability to achieve strong financial, operational and customer-service performance. He has in-depth experience in strategic planning, financial analysis and process improvement.”

Like his predecessor Devereaux, Mayer is a “numbers person” and he says the company will continue to measure itself and implement ways to further strengthen operations.

“I’m excited to join a well-running and long-standing operation that is already a market leader with its people, service and technology. The culture is a great fit with my continuous improvement philosophy,” Mayer said. “Emergency24 has many strengths and a tremendous future. It is very clear that our people and our technology are what attract new customers and have retained existing customers for decades. What excites me most is our opportunity to use these core strengths to grow and improve our services and customer experience.”

EMERgency24, headquartered in Illinois since its founding in 1967, is a nation-wide provider of central-station alarm-monitoring services with branches in suburban Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Washington D.C.

2018 Beneficiary: SIAC

SIAC works tirelessly on behalf of the electronic security and life safety industry to foster strong relationships with public safety officials. Funded solely through donations, SIAC needs the industry to come together to ensure continued operations. Over the years, SIAC has worked to retain police response in numerous communities; prevent onerous ordinances and policies that would fine alarm companies for their customers’ violations. SIAC has also created alarm management committees where law enforcement and the security industry work together towards solutions rather than divisively. This year WIESA was able to donate $1000.00 to SIAC on behalf of our members.

 

Join us Sept 14, 2017 @ Westhaven Country Club Oshkosh, WI

At Westhaven they offer 18 beautifully manicured holes, open to the public for daily fee play.  During your round you will encounter a variety of obstacles to navigate including; water hazards, sand traps, and plenty of trees.  With two creeks feeding into ponds, water will be in play on four holes of each nine. There are many mature trees dating back prior to construction in 1969, when the landscape was mostly farmland bordering Oshkosh. Hundreds of trees have been added in the over forty years since and just for good measure they sprinkled in some strategically placed sand traps.
