President's Message

Our Mission is clear:  SAIA connects and educates members, driving safety and success throughout the elevated industry, and this mission is the cornerstone of our strategic plan for 2025-2027.
 
With the development and board approval of this three-year plan, the road map for my term has been established, concentrating on the following:

• Brand Awareness & Messaging – focusing on membership growth and outreach.
• Technology – providing up-to-date and comprehensive industry resources.
• Member Development – identifying, increasing, and educating volunteer members.
• Workforce Development – expanding our training with the development of new programs.
 
It is through the collective effort of each one of you that we will achieve our goals. Your expertise, your passion, and your dedication are the pulse of this association, and I encourage you to review our strategic plan and share your ideas, as we work together to ensure that we continue to be a beacon of excellence in our industry.
 
We are wholeheartedly committed to developing and promoting best practices that address the evolving challenges our industry faces, seamlessly integrating these practices into our educational initiatives and training programs, with collaborative efforts through regulatory bodies.
 
As your president, I am personally dedicated to engaging and welcoming new members into the SAIA community, updating our training programs to ensure they meet current needs, and strengthening our relationships across the industry. It is truly an honor to serve in this capacity, and I invite each of you to join us on this journey toward enhancing safety and excellence in our industry.
