ISSA Altus Summit Spotlights Featured Building Service Contractor Speakers

ISSA, the Association for Cleaning & Facility Solutions, released the speakers for the 2026 ISSA Altus Summit, a leadership experience designed exclusively for building service contractor (BSC) executives committed to strengthening their businesses and advancing the cleaning industry.

Taking place June 8-10 at ISSA headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois, the Altus Summit is the flagship in-person gathering for ISSA’s community of BSC leaders. ISSA curated the Altus Summit to provide a focused, high-trust environment to refocus, realign, and return with a stronger path forward. The event features ISSA’s six Altus Principals, BSC leaders who represent specific disciplines that drive successful cleaning companies:

• Chase Carlson, Pioneer president and CEO, focusing on operations.
• Mike Fitts, 4M Building Solutions chief commercial officer, focusing on strategy.
• Jill Frey, Cummins Facility Services president and CEO, focusing on technology.
• Channing Johnson, KB Building Services president, focusing on human resources.
• Steve Mastin, 4M Building Solutions chief financial officer, focusing on finance.
• Ricky Regalado, Route/Rozalado Services CEO and founder, focusing on sales and marketing.

“The Altus Summit reflects what the BSC community has been asking for: a forum where leaders learn from leaders, where strategy meets execution, and where conversations are honest, relevant, and operator-driven,” said Karina Neff, ISSA Chief Engagement Officer for BSCs. “Our Altus Principals don’t just speak to the issues facing today’s BSCs—they live them. That’s what makes this experience unlike anything else in the industry. It’s built by BSCs, for BSCs.”

In addition to the Altus Principals, the Altus Summit agenda features industry thought leaders such as Laurie Sewell, president of Servicon and president of the ISSA Board of Directors; Mark Herbick, founder and CEO of Pursant; Doug Flaig, CEO of Stratus Clean; Otis Scott, vice president of human resources at Prestige Maintenance USA; and Jill Davie, senior vice president and general manager at WorkWave.

“The Summit is not a conference attendees sit through, but a leadership community they step into,” Neff said. “Every session, peer exchange, and conversation is designed to deliver real insights, sharpen strategy, and produce decisions BSC executives can act on the moment they return home. We are thrilled to host such a powerful program—and equally excited to welcome a remarkable lineup of speakers and thought leaders whose expertise will add tremendous value for every executive in the room.”
