Friday, April 27 - Sunday, April 29, 2012
 

Please join the National Volunteer Fire Council for its annual spring Board meeting in historic Old Town Alexandria. This meeting is an important time spent conducting business, getting committee work done, and spending time together. The spring meeting also honors outstanding achievements by individuals and departments at the Saturday night Awards Banquet.

NEW LOCATION

This year’s meeting is being held at a different hotel - the Holiday Inn and Suites Old Town - which is a sister property to the Crowne Plaza, where we’ve been meeting for the last several years. Guest rooms have been updated, there is continued complimentary shuttle service to and from Reagan National Airport, the King Street Metro station, and the heart of Old Town….and you’ll enjoy a small decrease in room rates.
