On April 1-2 2009, CFSI will host the 21st Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner and Seminars in Washington, DC. It is an extraordinary day of opportunities for fire service leaders to engage Congressional leaders and Administration officials in discussions about federal programs and legislation addressing the needs of local first responders.

Throughout the two-day event, CFSI will host a series of seminars addressing issues that directly relate to the safety of first responders. These seminars will be held on Capitol Hill and we will provide shuttle services back and forth to make your visit more productive.
This is the fire services' day in Washington. Prior to your visit, we would encourage you to schedule meetings with your members of Congress to exchange information and share ideas on how the federal government can address the challenges of the fire services, both nationally and locally.
What is the purpose of the dinner?

What else takes place?
The CFSI Dinner is not just a dinner. It is the culmination of a two day program featuring an impressive schedule of seminars conducted by leading fire service and administrative officials. Throughout the day, a shuttle will run between Capitol Hill and the Hilton Washington to allow attendees to visit with their members of Congress and also attend workshops held on Capitol Hill. The seminars are a great way to learn about the interaction between the fire and emergency services and Congress. CFSI also encourages attendees to schedule meetings with their members of Congress to discuss fire service issues. One-on-one meetings with members can encourage them to get more involved in fire service legislation.
