December 1, 2006 2007-2008 NSVFA MEMBERSHIP DUES TO INCLUDE NSVFA OWNED NEWSPAPER An approved motion at the 2005 Annual Conference General Assembly instructed the NSVFA Executive Board to review the NSVFA publication and NSVFA communications.  In response to this motion, a subcommittee of the E-Board explored options and reported its results to the E-Board at its May, 2006, meeting at Fire School.  At this meeting, the Board voted to approach the membership at the 2006 Annual Conference with a proposal that the NSVFA publish its own newspaper.

 

November 14, 2006 MUTUAL AID CALLING TREE At the Fire House of Delegates meeting held October 21, 2006, at Annual Conference, much time was devoted to discussing the major fires that had occurred throughout the state this past year which caused many concerns and questions to surface related to response by outside departments to these events.  As a result, the attending membership at the second Annual Conference General Assembly approved a motion “to support a Mutual Aid calling tree through development of a sub-committee or task force which would work with the Nebraska Forest Service."
