SUMMARY:Webinar - FirstNet Independence: A governance case study
DESCRIPTION:As we are near the time Congress must reauthorize FirstNet\, there needs to be a discussion on the review of FirstNet Governance. Join former FirstNet Board Chairs Sue Swenson\, Chief Richard Carrizzo\, and former Vice-Chair Chief Jeff Johnson\, as they discuss the value of an independent FirstNet Authority\, program oversight\, and the need to protect and advance the nation’s public safety network.\n\nThe creation of the FirstNet Authority marked a deliberate and historic policy decision by Congress to establish an independent\, nationwide public-safety broadband authority insulated from traditional departmental control. Born out of the lessons of 9/11 and codified in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act\, FirstNet was designed to operate with a singular mission: to ensure reliable\, interoperable communications for the nation’s first responders. The discussion will examine the governance structure\, rationale for its statutory independence\, and oversight model.\n
