"On behalf of the IQ Board and its certified companies, we thank Lisa for her service to IQ."
"My involvement and time with the IQ Program and as Chairperson was both a pleasure and an honor," Prosser said. "I am proud to have been recognized for the contributions I was able to make to the industry, and I wish the IQ Board great success as they continue to increase awareness of installation quality benefits for consumers, installers and law enforcement."
