At NENA’s NG9-1-1 Standards & Best Practices Conference, January 15-18 in Orlando, you will gain understanding of the world made possible by Next Generation 9-1-1 and help make it so.
This is a conference unlike any other. Featuring more than two-dozen NG-focused sessions, SBP is an interactive, informative, attendee-driven event where you not only learn about the standards that are spurring the development and implementation of NG9-1-1 technology and operations best practices, but also create the guidelines, resources, and documents that enable NG services, systems, and PSAPs to reach their full potential.

For the first time, NENA is included in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), the official workplace-giving campaign for federal and military employees.
Federal employees can support NENA @ Combined Federal Campaign code #45316.
Now through January 12, federal employees and retirees can support education and training opportunities for members of our 9-1-1 community who wouldn’t otherwise have them. With the funds raised by tapping into this powerful network of more than 12 million federal employees, NENA will fund more scholarships and wellness programs for 9-1-1 professionals across the country.
Through the CFC, military service members, federal employees and retirees can make automated tax-deductible gifts with weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly payroll deductions.
Please share this news with your family members, friends, and colleagues, especially those who may be, or may know, federal employees. Please forward this news item, post it on a bulletin board, or help us spread the word on Facebook and Twitter.

On November 7, NENA filed comments in response to the NG9-1-1 grant program NPRM issued by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In general, NENA strongly supports all of the agencies' proposals in this proceeding. However, the NENA filing addresses three points believed to be crucial to the success of this grant program: direct tribal involvement, independent verification and validation, and standards compliance.
