9-1-1 Goes to Washington (#NENAGTW) brings you and hundreds of your fellow 9-1-1 professionals together with government leaders in our nation's capital to address today's most pressing 9-1-1 and emergency communications issues. #NENAGTW is the only event where you learn about the policy challenges facing 9-1-1 and then take immediate action to address them through dialogue with your elected and appointed officials.

#NENAGTW offers you a significant opportunity to shape the nation’s emergency communications policy agenda. In order to address the needs of today’s 9-1-1 systems while laying the regulatory and legislative groundwork for next-generation systems, you must understand today’s 9-1-1 policy landscape and take an active role in educating policymakers to shape the laws and rules of tomorrow. At #NENAGTW, you will do both. Join us for a dynamic, interactive program where you receive:

• The inside information you need to shape the 9-1-1 and emergency communications agendas for the Administration and Congress;
• Critical knowledge of federal and state 9-1-1, homeland security, and emergency communications legislation, regulation, and policy initiatives; and
• An opportunity to speak directly with members of Congress, administration officials, and key staff to make your voice heard on behalf of the entire 9-1-1 community.

Leadership is not uniform. It's not always crisp and sharp. Sometimes it’s loud, messy, and even a little chaotic. There are myriad ways to lead and figuring out when to play it by the book vs. when to be fun and flexible can be tricky at any stage in your leadership journey.

Join us for this webinar where you’ll learn how to integrate creativity into traditional modes of leadership. Come find out what "leadering" is all about - empowering others, shifting perspectives, promoting positivity, and being awesome while doing it – and how you can incorporate it into your leadership playbook.

The National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) is coordinating a project to develop guidelines for building collaboration between the four disciplines of EMS, 9-1-1, emergency management, and public health. NENA is supporting and participating in this project as a member of the Technical Expert Panel. As part of the project, NASEMSO is collecting the best practices and ideas for collaboration from across each state and from the representatives of the four disciplines.

Click here to provide your expertise for the project. The scan NASEMSO is doing is formed around 13 separate domains that are common throughout all states and all four of the disciplines. All are welcomed to take the time to go through the scan and provide links to materials or documents that you feel should be considered in developing the guidelines.
