ECIA Announces Distinguished Service Award Recipients 2025
ECIA CEO David Loftus honors the individuals that contributed their time and effort to the industry this year.
Atlanta - ECIA is proud to announce the three 2025 Distinguished Service Awards that were bestowed to recognize exceptional individuals who find time in their very busy lives to make significant contributions to ECIA and our industry. ECIA President and CEO David Loftus named the individuals at the 2025 Executive Conference held in Rosemont, Illinois last month.
“The first recipient is from Future Electronics,” Loftus began. “This gentleman contributed the maximum six years of service, three, 2-year terms, on the EDS Board, which included some difficult challenges and decisions during Covid. As a very chill guy, he always shared a calm approach to solving problems. Congratulations to Anthony Alberga.
“Our next honoree is the past chair and multi-year member of our Executive Conference Core Committee,” he continued. “She served as our master of ceremonies in 2023. And as I learned recently, loves to sing old Journey songs! Thanks, and congratulations to Tobi Cornell of Kruvand & Associates."
“Our final DSA recipient this year is from Sager Electronics. She has been a long-time member of our Executive Conference Committee and responsible for our outstanding lineup of speakers as Co-Chair for Speaker Vetting Committee for 3 years. I am pleased to name Pam Berigan as the third Distinguished Service Award winner of 2025.”
