The Sunday social at the KSAPCO Fall Conference has been announced and is sponsored by Voice Products and ATT.  For information on the social, visit the conference page at http://www.ksapco.net/Fall10.html.

Special Announcements

In addition to the training classes and activities routinely scheduled at Kansas APCO Conferences, there are always side meetings that are held in conjunction with the event.  I have begun posting "Special Announcements" on the Conference Page at www.ksapco.net.

Panel discussion with Kansas Senators

From Kim Pennington:

Senators Apple and Petersen of the Senate Utilities Committee will be at the fall APCO conference for a panel discussion.  Senator Apple is going to try to recruit other committee members as well.  This would be a good opportunity to get information and to pass information along.  They are scheduled on Tuesday, October 12 from 1500 - 1550 in the Eagle H room.

Questions sought for Roundtable

From Brad Gilges, KSAPCO Chapter Executive Committee-Person: 

At the APCO Conference in Wichita, on Monday, October 11, I will be moderating a topic called “Manager/Director Round Table.”  This class is a round-table discussion designed for directors and managers of 9-1-1 / Communication’s Centers to discuss issues they are having and hopefully sharing solutions found by other directors and managers.  Although any topic can be brought up and discussed that day, I am looking for some topics you would like to see discussed before hand, so we can be sure we hit those topics.  Please send me your topic or question that you want to see discussed by e-mail at:  bgilges@franklincoks.org.  

PSAP update

A new photo has been updated on the PSAP page at the website www.ksapco.net.  A group photo of Hutchinson-Reno County Emergency Communications personnel has been added.  Good looking crew, I might add.  Any PSAP that would like their contact information and a photo added to the website can submit their information to the webmaster. We welcome your submissions!
