22nd Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner and Seminars Coming Up

The Congressional Fire Services Institute (CFSI) is hosting the 22nd Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner and Seminars on April 28-29, 2010, in Washington, D.C. Below is a press release from the CFSI regarding this year’s event.

The 22nd Annual CFSI National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner and Seminars is quickly approaching and the CFSI staff is hard at work to ensure that we provide our supporters with the best possible program.   Now is the time to purchase your tickets and make your room accommodations at the Hilton Washington while rooms are still available.  With the support of the Fire Caucus leadership who will speak at the dinner and national fire service leaders who will participate in our seminar program, we anticipate another successful event – one that will capture the unity of the fire service in advocating for our agenda in Washington, DC.

Over the past year, we have strived to improve the quality and content of our seminar program.  Working with members of our National Advisory Committee, we have implemented a number of changes to the seminar program in response to feedback we have received from past participants.  The seminars will continue to feature the preeminent leaders in public safety from both the federal government and national fire organizations.  Where you will notice the changes is in the expanded program and the venue – all seminars will take place in the newly renovated Hilton Washington conference facility.

As part of the 22nd Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner and Seminars, CFSI and the Washington, DC Fire Department will co-host the Second Annual Voices of the Fire Service Reception.  Sponsored by ARA Safety, the reception will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 on April 28th and feature the award winning DCFD BBQ team.  The event provides an opportunity to relax, catch up with old friends and engage in light conversation before we get down to business on Thursday.  Tickets for the event are $20 in advance ($25 at the door) for an all-you-can-eat feast!  You will not want to miss it. 
 
Order your tickets now as the reception will sell-out.  All proceeds will benefit CFSI and the DCFD Foundation. The event will take place at the Longview Gallery on 9th Street, NW. Complimentary transportation to and from the gallery will be provided from the Hilton Washington.
