Meeting Sponsorship Opportunities

Reach the National Leadership of the
Volunteer Fire & Emergency Services

This is a unique opportunity
to increase your company’s visibility and show your support
of the volunteer fire, rescue, and emergency medical services
and to the NVFC!

The National Volunteer Fire Council’s (NVFC) Spring Board Meeting is an important business and networking conference and is highly attended by members of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of representatives from 49 state fire associations. It is strategically located in the Washington, D.C. area to bring our collective voice to the national level and to have dialogue with high-ranking officials on the critical matters facing the volunteer. In 2013, the meeting will start the day after the CFSI Dinner.

The spring meeting also includes a dynamic program of speakers, moderated discussions, and honors progressive and dedicated individuals and departments for their service at the NVFC Awards Dinner.

This is a great time to maximize your exposure.

The NVFC spring meeting will keep your name – your brand – what you offer – in front of key influencers who represent the volunteer fire and rescue forces. There are a variety of sponsorship levels that offer a range of benefits, from exclusive speaking opportunities to pre-meeting messaging on email announcements to signage visibility.

All sponsorships include meeting web site visibility, meeting signage, and the opportunity to network with fire and EMS leaders from across the nation. Choose the level that best fits your needs.
