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.

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."  |
