Membership Committee 

        

The Membership Committee is intended to serve and increase our membership base of high caliber fire and life safety professionals from colleges and universities as well as other who have an interest in campus fire safety. The Membership Committee also provides guidance regarding elements pertaining to membership and member benefits/services in the organization. It is composed of members who are knowledgeable about best practices in the capacity-building field. 

The Code, Standards and Technical Research Committee is charged with assessing and promoting proposals for changes in national model codes, industry and reference standards as they relate to college and university infrastructures. It also has responsibility for coordinating and facilitating the promotion of scientific research in the field of fire and life safety. The Committee works to provide guidance to the Board as it develops organizational positions on such matters.  

Richard Roberts, Chair 

This committee keeps abreast of government actions as they relate to proposed and new laws, rules, and regulations that are likely to impact fire and/or life safety at colleges and universities, primarily, but not limited to, the national level. The committee often participates in rule development, prepares comments and testimony, and otherwise works to influence rulemaking. The committee helps members easily find relevant information on government regulations, as well as develop and provide other compliance assistance to higher education institutions.

Alan Sactor, Chair 

 

The Social Media Committee will help to grow awareness of The Center and its mission by working to leverage social media and school social media managers that will help fire safety educators reach students.  These activities can include discussions on the most direct ways to reach today’s student, sharing media blogs and stories that could be of interest to educators and students, providing campus related information for fire safety educators and fire departments responsible to campus fire safety, as well as landlords and insurance groups that work with off-campus housing facilities.
