Held during the ESA Leadership Summit, which ran Jan. 12 to 14 at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, the awards dinner gave Malice three more reasons to celebrate. In 2009 she was voted alarm person of the year by the Public Safety Committee of the Arizona Alarm Association (AzAA) for the second year in a row.

InSecurity, the newsletter of the Arizona Alarm Association, won Newsletter of the Year. “This award does not only belong to me. InSecurity is a joint effort between many people,” said Malice.
