The California Sign Assn. (CSA) has named Roy Flahive as its new executive director, following a three-month-long statewide search. Flahive served CSA twice before as its president, during his 40+ years in the sign industry.

Flahive’s extensive volunteer roles have included work with the San Diego Mayor’s Sign Code Task Force, the San Diego Area Lighting Advisory Board, the California State Contractors License Board, the Underwriters Laboratories’ Industry Advisory Committee, the Intl. Sign Assn., World Sign Assoc. and the Western States Sign Council (WSSC).

He recently led CSA in engaging the California Energy Commission and the California utility companies in their ongoing work on Title 24 regulations. Most recently, Flahive represented WSSC while on the CSA board, and in that capacity, helped to coordinate joint WSSC/ CSA initiatives.
