WHIRC hosts our annual dealer symposium to say thank you for being a valued part of our dealer network while providing everyone with fun learning experience. This event will be hosted at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, MN on July 20, 2023. This newly renovated venue is a wonderful place to spend a couple of days with our friends in the low-voltage industry. Everyone will find something of value throughout the day.

During our time together, industry representatives will discuss some of the newest technology and services. We will also cover the many offerings and services available through WHIRC. You will be sure to learn something new to help your business succeed!

One of the best reasons to join us is networking. There are many great conversations that happen during our time together. Many dealers find a new idea, a new business opportunity, and new friends. We provide breakfast and lunch capped off with a social. Following the social, we will host an event at Canterbury Park to watch live horse racing.

Enjoy a couple of great days with us and sign up for the 2023 WHIRC Dealer Symposium today!

Employee spotlight: Chris Stephensen

Get to know our new response center supervisor - Chris Stephensen.

Where did you work/what did you do prior to coming to WHIRC?

I was working at Liberty Paper for a year after leaving the military. Prior to that, I was a medic in the Minnesota Army National Guard for 13 years and was the Troop Medical Center Manager. Before my time with the Minnesota Guard, I spent 3 years with ADT Security as an Installation and Service Technician. 

What are you looking forward to while working at WHIRC?

I am looking forward to working with a different team dynamic and working with the team to see what improvements we can make. Coming from a military background, I am excited to expand my leadership skills with a civilian team and the new challenges it brings.

Is there any technology you are interested in learning about?

There is so much I am learning right now and it is all interesting! But I am finding the many different and new ways of communicating with the customers and their devices the most interesting.

What are some of your hobbies/things you like to do for fun?

I like to skiing and snowboard with my family, mountain biking, and I still play in a recreational hockey league.

Chris joined WHRIC on April 24 and supervises the WHIRC alarm monitoring center and security dispatchers.
