Presidents Letter
Dear Members and Friends of the NYFAA,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your ongoing support of the New York Fire Alarm Association—our events, our mission, and our shared commitment to life safety in New York.
Our Spring Seminar and General Member Meeting, held on May 14th, was a tremendous success. The credit-eligible seminar focused on Significant Changes to the Fire Alarm Requirements in the 2025 NYC Electrical Code. We also welcomed Laurie Eisner, who presented on UL 268 rev 7. As always, the presentation materials are available for download in the Members Only section of the nyFAA website.
Looking ahead, I encourage you to mark your calendars and stay engaged:
Wednesday, September 10 –
Seminar & General Member Meeting
Terrace on the Park
Monday, September 15 –
Annual Charity Golf Outing
Lawrence Yacht & Country Club
Wednesday, November 12 –
End-of-Year Meeting, Annual Election & Toy Drive
Terrace on the Park
Your involvement matters. Committees are always welcoming new members, and I strongly encourage you to consider running for a Director position in our upcoming 2025 Board Election this November. More information will be available on this at the September 10th General Member meeting.
The nyFAA is your voice—your advocate in matters concerning life safety across our city. If you have ideas, feedback, or recommendations to help make the Association stronger, please don’t hesitate to reach out: [email protected].
Let’s continue to build a safer, stronger industry—together.
Warm regards,
Val Sherer
President nyFAA – 2025
