Conference Announcement
Every year, USFA hosts the annual Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Conference on its campus in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Representatives from fire-related degrees programs, State and local fire service training agencies, and national fire service organizations attend the three-day conference. For the first time since its founding in 1999 and to reflect changes in program scope since then, this event will now be known as the annual “FESHE National Professional Development Conference.” Attendance at the conference is available to only those in the target audiences (see below).
12th Annual Conference
We are pleased to announce that the 12th annual Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Conference will be held June 3-5, 2010 at the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA) National Fire Academy (NFA) campus in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Please see the attached preliminary agenda for the upcoming conference.
NOTE: The conference days are now Thursday – Saturday instead of Friday – Monday, as in past years.
