SIA Chairman Denis Hébert will present the 2016 Sandy Jones Volunteer of the Year Award to Haines at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, scheduled to occur on Tuesday, April 4, 2016, during ISC West.
“Thanks to SIA, I’ve had an opportunity to work directly with the next generation of security professionals,” said Haines.

“I’m honored to be recognized, and I look forward to working further with SIA on this program and others.”
“Doug Haines generously volunteered his time and expertise to the Associate of Applied Science in Security Systems Technology Degree Program, assisting SIA with this promising program that prepares tomorrow’s security industry employees,” said Hébert.
