John Romanowich, president and chief executive officer of SightLogix, Princeton, N.J., a manufacturer of outdoor intelligent video analytics camera systems for perimeter security applications, received the Security Industry Association (SIA) “Statesman Award” on June 21 during the SIA Public Policy Dinner as part of SIA’s 2011 Government Summit in Washington, D.C.

The award recognized Romanowich’s strong support for SIA Government Relations programs, as well as his leadership as chairman of SIA’s Chemical Security Working Group. Established in 2006, the “Statesman Award” is the highest award presented by SIA and its Government Relations Department to an individual who makes extraordinary contributions of professional time, resources, expertise and enthusiasm to the success of SIA’s Government Relations program.

“John Romanowich has never hesitated to lend his extraordinary abilities to SIA in support of our Government Relations program,” said Don Erickson, SIA’s director of government relations. “SIA members and the industry have benefited greatly from his earnestness, unique insights and expertise on critical infrastructure protection. He is a true statesman because he understands the value and importance of making individual contributions that can benefit the entire security industry.”
