How we are governed

Founded in 2002 by independent storage operators, the CSSA has grown rapidly, now serving over 500 storage owners, operators, and vendors, and thousands of storage facilities. We are governed by an elected Board of Directors comprised of self-storage professionals. The board is made up of owners and vendors and meets regularly.

The CSSA serves not only its members but the larger community as a whole through its philanthropic initiatives. Most notably, CSSA’s charitable efforts go towards raising money for the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Kure It Cancer Research. To date, the CSSA has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for groundbreaking cancer research programs.
