The Security Industry Association (SIA) has announced its new board of directors chair-elect and presented its new and returning members to the SIA board of directors on April 1 at The Advance, SIA’s annual membership meeting, and the following board of directors meeting during ISC West.

The SIA board of directors ratified the selection of Mike Mathes, executive vice president, western operations at Convergint and former treasurer of the SIA board of directors, as SIA chair-elect. Additionally, the board ratified the selection of three new voting members of the board of directors to serve two-year terms from 2025 to 2027:

  • Min Kyriannis, chief executive officer and co-founder, AMYNA Systems
  • Bobby Louissaint, head of technical partnership engagement, Global Systems Services and Technology, Meta
  • Don Young, executive vice president and chief operating officer, ADT

Six individuals were confirmed to serve a second two-year term:

  • Charles Burns, director of commercial facilities, Intelligent Security Systems
  • Tom Cook, executive vice president of sales and operations, North America Hanwha Vision
  • Tara Dunning, vice president of global security, Wesco
  • Dave Ilardi, senior vice president and president of the Americas, Allegion
  • John Nemerofsky, chief operating officer, SAGE Integration
  • Steve Reinharz, founder and chief executive officer, RAD

Following the ratification, the SIA Executive Committee for 2025 includes:

  • Chair: Scott Dunn, senior director of business development, Axis Communications
  • Chair-Elect: Mike Mathes, executive vice president of western operations, Convergint
  • Secretary: Dave Ilardi, senior vice president and president of the Americas, Allegion
  • Treasurer: John Nemerofsky, chief operating officer, SAGE Integration
  • At-Large Officer: Tara Dunning, vice president of global security, Wesco
  • Immediate Past Chair: James Rothstein, operating partner, Lee Equity Partners

“SIA is grateful to have the guidance of a highly regarded, committed and accomplished board of directors,” said Don Erickson, CEO, SIA. “On behalf of SIA and our members, we would like to congratulate our new SIA Chair-Elect, Mike Mathes, as well as the 2025 Executive Committee and our new and returning board members. These inspiring, experienced leaders are helping to drive innovation at SIA and across the industry. We also thank outgoing board members Jonathan Aguila, whose vision helped lead to the creation of SPARC, SIA’s technical end-user community, and Holly Borgmann, who has played an instrumental leadership role as vice chair of SIA’s Government Relations Committee and as a member of the Endowment Committee — for dedicating their time and expertise over the course of their impactful service.”
