Members who participated in ESA’s District Day [the first week of May] found the visits to their local congressional offices to be productive. “I met with [Colorado] state director Andy Merritt, and it went well,” says ESA Member, Sofia Aguilar of A-1 Security Systems. “I was told to expect a 20-30 minute meeting and I was there one-on-one for over an hour. He also invited me to be one of 120 Coloradans hosted by both of our senators to a special summit in Washington DC next June. He was very interested in our industry and our association’s members.” Read the entire article by clicking link "ESA Integrator" above.
