The
Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus is co-chaired by:
Gregory L. Rohde,
former Administrator of the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration, serves as the
E9-1-1 Institute’s Executive Director.
The mission of the E9-1-1 Institute is to support the
Congressional
E9-1-1 Caucus and assist in promoting
public education on E9-1-1 and emergency communications issues.
We do this
by serving
as an information clearinghouse on E9-1-1 and emergency
communications issues and creating a forum for policy
discussions related to E9-1-1 and emergency communications
that will benefit public policy development.
Anyone who shares in this mission can join (see
Join Us).
