NENA seeks volunteers to shepherd the completed draft of the NENA Standards for 9-1-1 Professional Education through the document review process. Specifically, the working group seeks to add members in the Producer and General Interest categories.  A Producer is one who develops or provides 9-1-1 related products or services and a General Interest member is a one who does not fit into User or Producer, such as a consultant or one who is part of a state or federal agency. 

The Working Group meets on Thursdays from 1PM - 2PM Eastern
