ESA taps new president and officers

The Electronic Security Association has installed Marshall Marinace, owner of Yorktown Heights, N.Y.-based Marshall Alarm Systems, as its president for the next two years.

Marinace's presidency was one of five new officer appointments announced at ESA's annual membership meeting held during ESX 2014 in Nashville.

Marinace has been involved in the security industry for 38 years, and his alarm company was founded in 1976.
