THE MID SOUTH
MESSENGER
It’s Great to See You!
Don’t you just love running into an old friend
you haven’t seen in a while? One or both of you
will state “It’s great to see you!”
It truly was great to see so many MSSA members,
new members and meet several non-members
during MSSA’s Cruisin’ Down the Highway
“Convention and Trade Show in Chattanooga,
Tennessee!
After finishing all convention details for a
final report to MSSA Board of Directors, I realized
how large the” MSSA Volunteer Spirit” truly
is. One report forwarded to MSSA Board was a
“Thank You” list containing 51 MSSA members
who helped with various convention functions.
With a packed schedule of events offering lots
of activities over a three day period, MSSA looks
toward its members to lend a hand with these
activities. Examples of “MSSA Volunteer Spirit”:
Bill Ortwein Sign Company designed and produced
most convention signage; Sponsors of all 4 levels
of sponsorship; Labon Tatum, Steve Metheny,
Mandy Wisner, Reece, Graphic Solutions and
Tubelite personnel helped obtain donations for
auctions; Watchfire Signs by Time-O-Matic raffled
large screen TV generating $295 toward 2012
scholarships; Rhonda Caldwell volunteered to help
with registration; Sign Builders produced signs:
“Mystery Exhibitor” and “Sign Design Contest
Winners”; MSSA Executive Committee welcomed
new members; board members volunteered to
meet and greet attendees as they entered the
live auction; Tina and Troy Crocker delivered
decorations for Saturday’s “Bikers’ Theme party,
David Watson, Rick Nipper, Joey Gerhart and Rod
Seay organized the band “Train Wreck”, Graphic
Solutions Group (John Henrichs) sold MSSA
Convention T-shirts donating $430 toward 2012
scholarships; Jerry Hodge retrieved boxes from
convention center shipping department for MSSA
goodie bags / registration material and became
the person in charge of Thursday’s tour; Elvis Davis
organized golf tournament and Calcutta; David
White organized poker tournament; Marty Guinee
presented two seminars; Roger Fillebaum MSSA’s
official photographer; Z3 Graphics created,
produced and shipped the MSSA motorcycle
banner; Harold Miller designed, produced and
delivered scholarship banner; Tim Lloyd, Max Young
and Robert Lowe led new EPA paint coating rule
discussion; Elliott Equipment organized speaker to
discuss new OSHA crane truck regulations, and
most importantly, members asked “What can I do
to help?”
Sounds pretty impressive and it is. Would you
like to get plugged into the “MSSA Volunteer
Spirit”? Just attend a meeting and it will sweep
over you!
The” MSSA Volunteer Spirit” was alive and very
well represented in Chattanooga, Tennessee July
21-23, 2011. I offers apologies to anyone I might
have missed in thanking!

Midsouth Messenger - August 2011
Insurance Program Now Available to MSSA Members
At the recent “Cruisin’ Down the Highway” MSSA Convention
and Trade Show in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the new partnership
between Mikos/Kampakis Insurance Services and The Mid South
Sign Association was announced. We feel we have been able to
put something together that can truly bring value to both the
association and its members.
The idea to put together an insurance program for the MSSA
members popped up about 10 months ago. Since that time,
Mikos/Kampakis, The MSSA, and the Executive Committee have
spent a great deal of time crafting an insurance program that
first and foremost benefits the members of the association.
Through these efforts we have put together a business
insurance program that offers the members preferred pricing
discounts and access to safety and risk management resources.
This program is designed to offer MSSA members a special
pricing credit that has been developed just for them as well a
comprehensive coverage from that provides the best coverage
available.
Some of the highlights of the program include:
•10% pricing discount right off the top. This will be
applied prior to any other credits being applied. This
special credit is available to MSSA members only.
•Lines of coverage eligible for the program are property,
general liability, auto, umbrella, workers compensation,
and bonding.
•Our insurance company partners, EMC Insurance
Companies and Summit, have agreed to discuss a
potential member dividend program if the program
reaches a certain level.
•Safety and Risk Management resources available to
members include workers compensation safety programs,
driver safety programs, and contract liability issues to
name a few
obtain risk management advice, or have their insurance quoted
for potential premium savings, we are always available in
whatever capacity benefits a particular member. Even if we
are not your agent, don’t hesitate to utilize us as a resource
for your business. We have already had tremendous success
within our home state and are confident out program offers
comprehensive coverage and very competitive pricing. The
feedback thus far on the program has been tremendous:
“Our experience with Mikos/Kampakis has been
outstanding. Their expertise and product knowledge helped
educate us on the products that were the best fit for Pro Signs,
Inc, specifically. We have found them to be knowledgeable,
professional, and well versed in their field.”
“Mikos/Kampakis assesses your risk management process,
which is a value added tool that any business owners can
appreciate. Pro Signs, Inc highly recommends Mikos/
Kampakis for their insurance knowledge and their risk
management capabilities and we look forward to a long
lasting relationship with them”
-Lynn Tolbert, Pro Signs, Inc

members first. Whether members want to utilize our resources,

www.thesignagefoundation.org
As Board members of the Signage Foundation, Inc., it was our pleasure to share an update on the research and education activities of
the Foundation with MSSA this week. We appreciate the strong support provided by MSSA for the Signage Foundation. In many ways,
MSSA has established the benchmark for state/regional giving to the Foundation.
During our discussions, many of you asked for specific information on how to support the efforts of the Signage Foundation. We have
itemized several giving opportunities for your review and consideration. However, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your
specific area of interest in greater detail.
• Unrestricted giving to support research and education such as these current research initiatives: Economic Value of On-Premise
Signage; Traffic Impact Safety Study and Business Makeover Case Studies. Additional funding would launch research on the Physics of
Lighting, Elements of Design on Readability and Conspicuity, Human Factors Impacting Signage and Longitudinal Case studies.
• Sign Industry Internships as either a site sponsor or a financial sponsor
• Participation and funding for the annual National Signage Research and Education Conference
• Strategic alignment with academic institutions to ensure future leaders in business and planning receive training in the value and
importance of signage—such as input on curriculum development, topical coverage in textbooks
• Commitment to annual giving through the Signage Foundation’s Century Club
• (recognition of the first 100 donors and industry thought leaders)
• Serving as a review team member on research projects
• Serving on a standing committee for the Foundation
Your tax deductible donation can be made on-line at www.thesignagefoundation or by mailing your donation to The Signage
Foundation, Inc. Post Office Box 14392 Washington, DC 20044.
We believe that our industry and society will benefit from rational, reasonable, evidenced based regulation that can only come
through peer-reviewed scientific research. We know that we have to invest in ourselves to make that happen. Invest today for the
benefits tomorrow. We urge you to make a commitment to the Foundation and yourselves.
Sincerely,
Roy Cox, Board Member

ROY COX
AWARDED 5TH AGNEW/CONDRAY
EXCELLENCE AWARD
“Roger Fillebaum presents Agnew Condray Excellence Award to 5th recipient,
Roy Cox”
“There are many words to describe Roy Cox: genuine, heartfelt,
gentleman, tactful, ethical, and unwavering. His passionate belief
in the sign industry and the ability of a group of conscientious
individuals to make a difference has, in turn, made a tremendous
difference. Roy’s sincerity and kindness are what you see
immediately, but when you look deeper you see his unwavering
sense of doing what is right. He is the person you want at the helm
when things are rough, and he is the person you want by your side
to enjoy the moment. He has a unique ability to relate to everyone
he meets and he listens before he speaks (so when he speaks, you
listen!).”
Lori M. Anderson, CAE
President & CEO, International Sign Association
“It has been an honor and privilege to work side by side with Roy
over the past 10 years. His calm demeanor and wisdom help guide
us through a very challenging economic period at ISA. I remember
my first introduction with Roy when he was looking for assistance
with some code issues in the Huntsville area. Roy is the kind of
person that not only was willing to ask for help, but wanted to
help others. Roy immediately got involved with Mid-South and
his natural leadership qualities quickly led him to the presidency
of Mid-South. His leadership at Mid-South then thrust him into
leadership roles at ISA. I sat beside Roy at ISA and witnessed
firsthand the passion, conviction, dedication and sacrifice that Roy
and Wanda made for our Industry. My proudest “title” for Roy is
“Friend”. Roy, more than anything in the world, I am proud to call
you my friend and I thank you for allowing me to be a small part
of your life.”
Troy Crocker, President & Co-Owner, faces, Inc.
MSSA 2000 President & ISA Past Chairman
“Roy has always inspired me. Whenever I thought to myself... “I
don’t want to take on this responsibility”, I could think of Roy and
what he would do. I could say to myself, “I don’t have the time”,
and then think of Roy and the enormous time commitment that
he continuously dedicates to our industry. I could say to myself,
“man I’m too tired and I just need a little break” and somewhere
in my thick skull I’d hear my ol’ buddy Roy saying “you can sleep
when you’re dead!” Roy has made it easier for guys like me in a lot
of ways because he has dedicated so much of his time working in
our industry. One day he’ll leave it much better than he found it.
On the other hand, he’s made it much more difficult. I know my
foot must be at least two or three sizes bigger than Roy’s but he
has made it damn near impossible for anyone to fill his freaking
shoes!!”
David Watson, Watchfire Signs / Time-O-Matic, Inc
MSSA 2008 President& ISA Director of Suppliers Division
“Roy has served MSSA, ISA and the industry in a quiet manner
but with a passion for seeing that our industry is treated fairly
at government levels. Roy has given numerous hours, days and
weeks fighting for the rights of both the sign companies and their
customers. We owe Roy a lot for the success and status MSSA
enjoys.”
Elvis Davis, MSSA 1993 President
Agnew / Condray Excellence Award has been established to
show recognition to those that have been involved with and the
promotion of Mid South Sign Association and have gone ABOVE
& BEYOND in providing “Service & Financial Support” to further
the cause of our association. MSSA has been blessed with great
leadership that has carried on the vision of Russell Condray and
Tom Agnew, founders of Mid South Sign Association.

Updates from ISA
ISA adds certified planner
to government relations team
James Carpentier, AIPC, will join the International Sign
Association’s government relations department on Monday
as manager of state and local government affairs. Carpentier
most recently owned a consulting firm that managed sign
variances and entitlements for clients and worked with state
sign associations on legislative issues. Prior to that, he was
director of government relations for YESCO, where, among
other duties, he participated in educational and outreach
efforts to government entities. “We are thrilled to have James
join our outstanding government relations team,” said Lori
Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “With his background in
planning, he brings incredible strengths to the table, especially
as we work harder to educate planners on the benefits of
reasonable sign codes.”
New model sign code now available
A new model code is available for sign companies and
local officials to use to draft beneficial and effective sign
ordinances. Urban Design Associates, made up of academics
from the planning, legal and transportation engineering fields,
wrote “An Evidence-Based Model Sign Code” to provide key
stakeholders with the latest legal information and scientific
research regarding the constitutional and safety issues
involved with on-premise signs. To obtain an online version
of the UDA model sign code or for more information, please
contact ISA’s David Hickey at david.hickey@signs.org.
Education providers may register
programs with ISA and earn PDUs
In its role as the leading provider of continuing education
for the sign industry, ISA’s International Sign Academy
is expanding its Professional Development Unit, or PDU,
program. The Education Provider Program allows education
providers -- including government agencies, educational
institutions, sign companies, sign suppliers, distributors
and other sign industry professionals -- to register existing
programs with ISA and provide PDUs to attendees. Visit
http://www.signs.org/EducationInternationalSignAcademy/
RegisteredProviderProgram.aspx for more details or to
register your educational programs. Contact Tracey Cook via
e-mail at tracey.cook@signs.org for more details.

Safety Quiz
Providing for your sign needs for over 17 years!
Click-N-Locks
Q: If while operating a forklift the vehicle tips over
should you jump out?
Available in 14” & 24”
If you said, “yes”, then you would be dead wrong. By jumping
from a tipping lift a driver puts themselves at risk of being
pinned or crushed by the falling truck. Instead the driver
should make sure they are securely fastened in the lift and
brace themselves for the fall.
Q: A sloppy worker is only a danger to himself?
If you answered false you are wrong. A sloppy worker not
only endangers himself, but those around him. If you see a
worker behaving in a sloppy manner it is your duty to either
report his actions to the proper person or address the actions
yourself to ensure a safe work place.
Safety Quiz is provided by Safety Services Company, the
same company that MSSA purchases monthly safety meeting
reports. Monthly safety meeting reports are one of many
benefits of MSSA membership.

MSSA “Steve Metheny Scholarship Foundation”
The Steve Metheny Scholarship Foundation is proud to announce it awarded Fifty Six Scholarships totaling $74,000 during MSSA’s
2011 Summer Convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee. An additional $77,603 was raised for future scholarships from silent and live
auctions, raffle tickets, poker & golf tournaments and monetary donations.
MSSA could not have such a successful scholarship program without the people who purchase raffle tickets and auction items, donate
items for auction and participate in the golf and poker tournaments. MSSA would like to express a hearty “THANK YOU” to everyone that
makes “it” happen with special “you are wonderful remarks” to Steve Metheny, who spent many hours on phone acquiring auction items
along with Labon Tatum, Chairman MSSA Scholarship Committee.
