Ballard, Humble To Be Honored By SSA, SSAF
The Self Storage Association (SSA) and the Self Storage Association Foundation (SSAF) have announced two industry awards that will be celebrated in Las Vegas this September during the SSA Fall Conference & Trade Show.
Entering the Self Storage Hall of Fame on Sept. 4 will be M. Anne Ballard, an active and influential member of the industry for more than three decades. The founder of Georgia’s Universal Storage Group, Ballard has served on the SSA board of directors and has been an instrumental leader of the Georgia Self Storage Association since its inception, including two terms as president.
Arkansas’ Bill Humble has been selected to receive the Michael T. Scanlon, Jr. Award, which honors individuals who have made unique contributions to the SSA and the self-storage industry. Humble, owner of U-Storeit, based in Little Rock, Ark., was instrumental in self-storage legislative models that have been adopted in states throughout the country. Perhaps most significantly, he led the only successful effort to date to repeal a state-wide sales tax on self-storage customers. Named for the late president and CEO of the national SSA, the Michael T. Scanlon, Jr. Award will be celebrated Sept. 5 in Las Vegas.
