The Fire & Security Executive Club is inviting industry professionals, supporters, and philanthropists to join its annual dinner event, dedicated to raising vital funds for the New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation.

This year’s gathering, set for Monday, Nov. 17, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at BOND 45 (221 West 46th Street, New York, NY), promises an evening of networking, inspiration, and giving back to those affected by burn injuries.

Attendance at the dinner offers a chance to connect with peers in the fire and security sectors while supporting a meaningful cause. In-kind donations for on-site raffles are also welcomed.

The event will honor distinguished leaders in the fire and security industry for their contributions and commitment to safety:

• Luke Mosley (Pye-Barker Complete Security Systems)
• Ken Nelson (Channel Partner Development Manager of M2M)
• Janet Fenner (President of Defined Marketing)
• Tracy Larson (President of WeSuite)
• Val Sherer (COO of Phoenix Fire & Security Solutions)
• Lauren Mosley (Pye-Barker General Manager of Complete Security Systems)
• Robert Shoremount (Owner of Strandberg Consulting).

Guest speakers Dana Haile, Emily Hespeler, and Carolina Savodal will share insights on burn care, recovery, and community impact.

The event’s theme draws inspiration from the Phoenix, a mythical bird reborn from its ashes, symbolizing the hope of healing and recovery for burn survivors who often endure devastating physical and emotional trauma, including a profound loss of self.

This year’s dinner holds special significance as Ken Gould, a longstanding leader of the Fire & Security Executive Club, steps down after years of dedicated service. Gould will hand over the reins to two new co-chairs: Elsie Deery, a prominent advocate for the foundation with a strong track record in charitable initiatives, and Wanda Nazar, a dynamic professional with over 20 years in the fire alarm industry, known for her leadership and organizational skills.
