NAEFO Legislative Committee Established to Amplify Voice of Emergency Service Districts

Group of people sitting at a table with notebooks, focused on a discussion or meeting.

The National Association of Emergency and Fire Officials (NAEFO) is amplifying the voice of the nation’s fire and ambulance districts with the establishment of its Legislative Committee.

NAEFO’s Board of Directors approved the Legislative Committee and its structure during its August meeting. The Committee’s founding membership will be seated during the Association’s Annual Meeting in Las Vegas on September 17.

With the committee, NAEFO sharpens its legislative and regulatory focus for emergency services districts through robust engagement with member fire, ambulance, and emergency communications officials. The Committee will be comprised of representatives of NAEFO’s state organization members as well as up to five fire district officials, three ambulance/EMS district officials, and one 9-1-1/emergency communications district official. The structure of the Legislative Committee’s representation is reflective of the estimated proportion of each type of district.

NAEFO Members interested in participating on the Legislative Committee to examine federal regulatory and legislative issue impacting the nation’s emergency services districts may contact cole@naefo.org.
