A SEAT AT THE TABLE

Success in shaping policy doesn’t just happen under the Capitol Dome. An array of state boards, commissions, task forces and working groups often are in the middle of enforcing and implementing policies established by the Legislature. Over the past decade and a half, CPF has placed firefighters on every meaningful state commission that touches the fire service. On those most central to the lives and livelihoods of firefighters, CPF has multiple members. All this ensures that the firefighter voice continues to be influential even after the laws are on the books.
