The Life Safety Alliance's Executive Women's Leadership Council (EWLC) was founded on a simple idea: individual excellence means more when it becomes collective progress. Through mentorship, knowledge transfer, and collaborative problem-solving, the EWLC is turning decades of hard-won experience into momentum for the entire security and life safety industry.

Get to know some of the women behind the movement. We're kicking off our first member spotlight with Council Chair Kasia Hanson, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Alcatraz and CEO of KFactor Global, Mindy M. Pretzman, Principal Advisor at Tradecraft Strategic Advisory, retired U.S. Secret Service, and Sandra Estok, Founder & CEO of Way2Protect.

Each shares their non-negotiable leadership standard, the best advice they've ever received, and where they see the industry's biggest untapped opportunity, from AI governance to protecting decisions, not just systems.
