David Drain, executive director, Dick Good, chairman, Alex Richardson, president and Janet Webster of the USPS. | The new association was the main topic yesterday at the SSKA executive board meeting, held in New York on the eve of Self Service Expo.
Dick Good, association chairman, said the new group will provide support and representation for digital signage vendors as well as deployers who have implemented digital signage solutions in their businesses.
Good said the Digital Signage Association would be affiliated with the SSKA in that both associations will be united by a newly formed Digital Technology Alliance. The Alliance will be a committee made up of selected members of both associations. There will also be special pricing for those companies interested in joining both associations, Good said.
The Digital Signage Association will launch Nov. 1.
Also at the meeting:
- Executive board members discussed whether to raise dues for the first time in the five-year history of the association.
- Association Executive Director David Drain made a push for companies to submit their best practices in article form to help the Best Practices Committee develop a database for online reference.
- Board member V. Miller Newton, CEO of Netkey, said that the Research and Statistics Committee is calling for company submissions for a database of case studies and white papers on SelfService.org, the association’s website.
- Association president Alex Richardson said the association will look into developing network security standards. The association then would compile best practices and security information and possibly develop a way to certify companies for network security.
