FPO Membership Meetings

Who, What, When, Were, and Why?


General Membership Meetings
Nor Cal holds general membership meetings every month (except December and May due to the Holidays, and March due to the Annual FPO Workshop) at various locations throughout Northern California. Members have the opportunity to share ideas, hear reports from the State Fire Marshal's Office, hear legislative reports, participate in committee meetings and to network with their counterparts from all over Northern California.

So Cal FPO's hold regularly scheduled monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month. Meetings are held at various locations throughout Southern California. Members have the opportunity to share ideas, hear reports from the State Fire Marshal's Office, hear legislative reports, participate in committee meetings and to network with their counterparts from all over Southern California. There is no monthly meeting in March due to the annual Workshop.

Programs
An Afternoon educational and informational program is part of each membership meeting. Members have the opportunity to learn about new products and developments, and to stay on top of the latest trends in fire protection, fire prevention and public education.

Solution to Problems
A primary goal of the FPO's is to promote uniformity in thinking among fire prevention professionals relating to fire protection policies. The FPO's give you a chance to get together with other fire prevention professionals in discuss problems and new ideas that are arising. Even if you are unable to regularly attend monthly meetings, you may find the answers to your problems and information you need on the web site, or in the monthly newsletter!

Annual Workshop
The Southern California Fire Prevention Officers Association (So Cal),and Nor Cal co-sponsors a week long educational workshop in March each year. The workshop provides a number of classes on a large range of topics. The workshop also provides the opportunity for committee chairs and members to meet with their counter parts from in the North or South; this is particularly important for committees involved in the code development and adoption process.
