Members Celebrate Milestone Anniversaries

The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) is recognizing members who are celebrating milestone membership anniversaries. The member companies featured here have belonged to AFSA for 15 or more years of continuous membership.

“As we bring 2020 to a close, it sure is nice to have something happy to celebrate such as these significant membership anniversaries!” comments AFSA Vice President of Membership & Communications Liz Messner, CAE, IOM. “The investment of these members in AFSA membership has made a big difference in the growth, prominence, and excellence AFSA has achieved. AFSA is proud to honor and recognize these great companies. We are grateful for your trust and support over the years.”

Several members are celebrating milestone anniversaries in November and December 2020. Sprinkler Age asked those members some questions about their time in the fire sprinkler industry and with AFSA. Ronald Davis, with Contractor Member Clark Patterson Lee, shared some of his favorite AFSA memories and things he’s learned through the years.
