2026 Standards Service Award Recipient: Dan Cremins
SIA has named Dan Cremins as the 2026 recipient of the SIA Standards Service Award.
Dan Cremins, senior sales and market development manager at Delta Electronics, has more than 25 years of experience developing customer driven technology solutions. He started at Tyco, designing large scale video systems for casinos, airports and highway traffic systems, and later joined March Networks, leading the product management team focused on multisite enterprise applications in retail, banking and transportation. Cremins joined March Networks’ parent company, Delta Electronics, in 2023 as part of a new Delta Intelligent Building Technologies team focused on smart and healthy building solutions. Since 2023, he has served as chair for the SIA Built Environment Advisory Board, which fosters engagement between the global security industry and adjacent markets such as proptech and smart buildings through partnerships, education and thought leadership. Cremins has authored multiple industry articles and spoken at various events, including ISC East and West, GSX, FSPA, AHR, ABC Keystone, Lifespan and Realcomm.
The Built Environment Advisory Board, formerly known as the SIA Proptech Advisory Board, underwent a strategic reorganization that ushered in new leadership under the chairmanship of Cremins. Alongside fellow board members, Cremins has represented the advisory board at educational sessions at ISC East and ISC West that explored how access control and video can be used beyond security in the built environment and highlighted the evolving role of physical security technologies. Cremins has also participated in webinars contributing to broad and impactful conversations around physical security and innovation. Additionally, he served as a speaker at SIA’s Return on Security Breakfast panels at both ISC East and ISC West, helping to demonstrate how security investments drive broader organizational value.
