Emergency Management Association of McLean County SealThe Emergency Management Association of McLean County and the McLean County EMA are pleased to offer a one-day Emergency Management Conference for public safety officials. The conference will feature keynote and plenary sessions as well as break-out sessions throughout the day as a way to provide local training and networking opportunities for those in the Emergency Management, Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement fields. Since local Emergency Management training is hard to obtain without requiring teams to take off time during work weeks, both the Association and the McLean County EMA wanted to offer something on a weekend that was more accommodating of people's schedules. A continental breakfast, full lunch, and afternoon snacks will be provided for attendees.
