The 2019 edition of DHI: Door Security + Safety Professionals’ premier Benchmark for Excellence awards program has seen extraordinary engagement and success because of countless, dedicated volunteers. They believe in our safety and security mission, the value of education and developing our next generation of leaders. 

We have several achievement awards, including the Founder’s Award, Fellow Award, Distinguished Consultant Award, Award of Merit and the Mary Roth Award, to recognize these important accomplishments and dedication. DHI annually seeks nominations of those individuals who have shown exemplary effort and commitment to our industry as door security and safety professionals.
