The spring meeting is 2.5 days of committee work, general sessions, and presentations. There is ample time for networking, sharing ideas, and learning while putting forth a formula for success. Industry mavericks and outstanding achievement will be celebrated at the annual awards reception and dinner. A Saturday “Movie Night” has been added with a special showing of a new documentary about the volunteer fire service (more details to come!). 

The schedule of activities and meetings change periodically, and some committee work will be taking place virtually ahead of the meeting. View and download the full meeting agenda below.
