Stan served two-year terms as president of the Alarm Association of Florida when he was 36 years old, president of NBFAA when he was 39 and president of CSAA when he was 42, from 1985 to 1987.

But Stan’s contribution to the industry and to CSAA far exceeded his efforts as President. Stan served until his death, as volunteer frequency coordinator for the CSAA radio frequencies.

Through the 1980s, CSAA and NBFAA shared an office, office staff and executive director. The office ran desperately short of money and needed to get loans from its leadership.

 Stan was one of the first to loan the association $10,000 and he also co-signed a note for a $150,000 loan to assure the association’s survival.
In 1986, the office was without a joint executive director and lacked the funds to hire one. Stan turned the day-to-day operation of his company, Guardian Systems, Inc., Ft. Pierce, Fla., over to his management at some risk to his best interest, rented an apartment, and moved to Washington, DC at his expense and worked for nine months without compensation to allow its survival.

It was largely through Stan’s initiative that the CSAA established the"Five Star Security Services" concept, the precursor of the CSAA Five Diamond Central Station concept, designed to emphasize CSAA member companies’ high levels of professionalism and service excellence.

It is fitting that CSAA’s highest recognition of contribution and achievement is given in Stan’s name in honor of his significant contribution to CSAA and this industry.
