SSA WELCOMES DARREN ING

The SSA is pleased to announce the hiring of Darren Ing (pictured), who has been director of the Self Storage Association of Michigan (SSAM) for the past 12 years. During this time, SSAM successfully grew its membership and improved the business climate for members through legislation and advocacy. In his new capacity with the SSA — which now manages SSAM — Ing will serve as manager of state association management.

"The State Association Management division of the SSA is excited to welcome Darren Ing to the team in an area of the country in which the SSA manages eight state associations: OHSSA, INSSA, SSAM, IL-SSA, MNSSA, IASSA and DSSA (North and South Dakota)," said Julie LaRose, SSA's SVP of states and membership.

Added SSA President & CEO Tim Dietz: “Our team has worked with Darren for many years. With his background and experience in the Great Lake region, he is an ideal addition to our team.”
