Co-Chairs Daniel Dunlap and Alex Spencer met with Georgia APCO President Jonathan Jones, Georgia NENA President Tamika Kendrick, and the Planning Committee on the week of January 11 discuss the GECC Conference scheduled for March 1 - 4, 2021 at The Classic Center in Athens. After discussing all options and considerations, we made the difficult decision to cancel the Spring 2021 GECC Conference.
The safety and well-being of our attendees continues to be our primary focus. While we are dedicated to bringing great training opportunities to our Public Safety Telecommunicators in Georgia, we also understand the current challenges we currently face with the COVID-19 pandemic.
We will continue planning for the 2021 APCO/NENA Fall Training Workshop and will keep you updated as we have more details.
We ask that you keep our Georgia public safety family in your thoughts and prayers as they continue fighting the COVID-19 battle.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to anyone on the Conference Committee or a Board Member of Georgia APCO or NENA if we can help answer any questions.
The Georgia Emergency Communications Conference (GECC) is a joint effort of the Georgia Chapters of APCO and NENA. We are proud to have joined together to bring the resources of the two largest and most powerful organizations dedicated to the improvement and advancement of Public-Safety Communications in the world to the people of Georgia. Although we remain two separate organizations, our missions are essentially the same.
Collaboration is the key to building and maintaining Georgia’s role as a leader in Public-Safety Communications. Toward that end, Georgia APCO and NENA joined together in 2009 to present the Georgia Emergency Communications Conference. The GECC was so successful that in December of 2009, the Officers of both chapters entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to continue to jointly host this outstanding training and networking event.
