Upcoming Congressional Briefing

Momentum is continuing to build for our BE Safe America / Congressional Briefing at the U. S. Capitol. We have now confirmed that joining us will be Senator Joe Manchin (WV) and Fire Caucus Chairman Congressman Rob Andrews (NJ)!  With our CEO, Len Pagano, having just visited late last week with others [such as Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) personally] and outreach to many others involved in homeland security and disaster readiness and recovery, we’re expecting attendance to continue growing on both sides of the aisle in the Senate and House of Representatives.
