This holiday season, you have a chance to help members of our 9-1-1 family. When you contribute to NENA's Gold Line Scholarship Fund, you’re empowering 9-1-1 professionals to do their very best.

Our goal for this end-of-year scholarship drive is $50,000—enough to provide twenty scholarships for 9-1-1 professionals like you who don’t have access to this vital and life-changing training. It is only through your generosity that we can meet this goal and make an impact!

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.
