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

SUMMARY:FirstNet Goes to Washington - Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Presents \nCongressional Briefing on FirstNet\nLunch & Learn: FirstNet in Action\nTuesday\, December 9\, 2025\n12:00 P.M. – 1:00 P.M. Eastern Time\nDirksen Senate Office Building\, Room B-48 | Complimentary Lunch Provided \n  \nThe Public Safety Broadband Technology Association (PSBTA) is honored to host a FirstNet Congressional Briefing and working lunch. \nFollowing the horrific events of 9/11\, there became an immediate call to action by public safety. The paralyzing communications issues that occurred gave us the realization that first responders needed a dedicated nationwide network to meet their unique communications needs. \nIn 2012\, Congress passed bipartisan legislation to establish the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN). Today\, the NPSBN is the envy of the world and lives are saved on a daily basis in our hometowns throughout America because first responders can reliably communicate and effectively coordinate their response operations. \nThis session is an educational briefing where we will highlight the importance of secure\, reliable\, and dedicated FirstNet connectivity to the public safety mission. We would kindly request you to confirm your attendance on our website. We look forward to you joining us and welcome your contributions to the event.
