What is FSSA?
The Fire Suppression Systems Association, is a not-for-profit trade association, drawing members internationally. FSSA is a unique blend of designer/installers, manufacturers and suppliers working together to share ideas and strategies for the benefit of the fire suppression systems industry. FSSA members are dedicated to the highest level of safety, reliability and effectiveness of special hazards fire suppression.
What is the value of FSSA membership?
Since the founding of the FSSA over twenty-five years ago, people ask about the value of an FSSA membership. Often membership is discussed in intangible terms; increase your knowledge, interact with your peers and give feedback to your suppliers.
The truth is that FSSA delivers real value. The dollars change regularly and the “intangibles” of membership often have a multiplying effect. For any business leader a return of $8,275 on your annual investment is a great payback. The “true value” of FSSA membership goes well beyond the dues to make your business a leader in the field of special hazards fire suppression.
