Jerry Burhans, ALCEA
Jerry Burhans and Gale Johnson were both from Chicago and while Jerry was VP of Sales at Eastern Company (CCL), Gale would stop by from time to time for friendly visits and talk locks. Gale lived a few minutes away from the Eastern Company office in Wheeling, Illinois. Gale worked for ABLOY years ago and enjoyed reminiscing with Jerry about his trip to Scandinavia. I know Jerry would be very honored to receive this nomination as Gale was a major influence in Jerry's career.
In addition to serving as managing director of ALCEA (formerly ASSA ABLOY Critical Infrastructure), Burhans is a former SHDA Committee Member, SIA Utilities Committee member, ITSA Committee Member and ASIS Chicago Chair of Education, Membership.
