The EM Section holds quarterly membership meetings including an in-person meeting at the annual Cal Chiefs Conference.
Our membership meetings feature a thoughtfully curated program focused on the most relevant issues in Public Safety and Emergency Management across California. Each meeting draws on the expertise of our strong statewide network of Emergency Managers, who contribute timely, real-world topics for discussion. Members will also receive valuable updates from the Cal Chiefs Association, CESA, and Legislative Affairs, ensuring you stay informed, connected, and prepared.
