FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 SSA Promotes Timothy J. Dietz to Chief Operating Officer

Alexandria, VA - Self Storage Association (SSA) President & CEO Michael T.Scanlon, Jr., today announced that Sr. VP of Government Relations Timothy J. Dietz, CAE, has been promoted to the position of chief operating officer (COO) effective immediately. Scanlon said Dietz will take on additional executive responsibilities while continuing to manage advocacy duties for the SSA and its 5,500 members throughout 2015.

Scanlon, who previously announced his intent to retire this September, said the organizational adjustments will ensure continuity of administrative coordination during the transition process. Dietz joined the organization in 2004 and has filled various executive functions, most recently overseeing lobbying activities nationwide that have significantly improved the business arena for the 48,000-plus property real estate sector.

"I have had the opportunity to work with Tim Dietz for many years, and as I look toward retirement this fall, I know for sure that he is prepared to take on additional responsibilities that will take the SSA to the next level," said Scanlon. "As COO, Tim will become more involved in the Association's decision-making process and interactions with the board of directors. He has done great work in managing our communications activities - including the development of SSA Globe magazine into the largest-circulation publication in the self storage industry - and leading our many lobbying successes in states throughout the country."

Prior to joining SSA, Dietz held government relations and communications roles for various nationally-focused organizations, including chief lobbyist for MACTEC, Inc., a Colorado-based environmental remediation government contractor; and management of investor relations for Alexandria, Virginia-based Metrocall, Inc. In 2011 the George Mason University graduate completed his Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation through ASAE, the Center for Association Leadership, which is based in Washington, D.C.

"Over the past decade, Mike Scanlon has overseen tremendous progress in the development of the national Self Storage Association (SSA), an organization that represents a still-young yet robust real estate segment," said Dietz. "Under his leadership, this organization has consistently provided improved benefits and important representation for self storage owner/operators. I look forward to working closely with Mike and the entire SSA team as we continue to provide our members with a superb association experience."
