Members of YOUR Company Officer Section had an amazing opportunity this week to attend the Congressional Fire Services Institute Fire Service Day on the Hill, Symposium, and Dinner. We met several new friends and reconnected with some old ones. A very special THANK YOU to Brycer - The Compliance Engine/ IROL: Web-based Prevention and Community Risk Reduction Solutions for sponsoring our attendees! Through their sponsorship, these members were able to attend the CFSI National Advocacy Network, where they learned tips and tricks for setting up and conducting meetings with their legislative officials. It was a good week when company officers showed up to advocate for the needs of our fire service!
