The Georgia Emergency Communications Conference Planning Committee is extremely honored to announce that Hank Hunt has been selected as the Keynote Speaker for the 2022 conference!
Henry E. (Hank) Hunt grew up in the central Arkansas area for the first 10 years of his life then the family moved to Austin, Texas in 1972. A big move but one that would make him a Texan forever!
Growing up and graduating he married his high school sweetheart and they had two beautiful little girls, Kari and Cori. As happens, Hank and his wife drifted apart and that marriage ended in divorce.
The single father life afforded Hank time with his daughters he never experienced before but, the household needed stability, and darn that lovebug, along came DaLonna (DJ). They married in 1994 and with her two daughters, Loni and Laura, they became the Huntske Bunch!
Through teen years, college years, and adulthood Hank was thrown curveballs by 4 girls that will forever try to figure out how he knew what he knew.
Today, he enjoys his small horse ranch in East Texas with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, and goats along with his wife D.J. whom without, he would just be lost.
Hank never thought he would be thrust into the world of 911 but 8 years ago he made a promise to a 9-year-old little girl that
he would fix the problem that prevented her from reaching help that her mother so desperately needed.

The Georgia Emergency Communications Conference (GECC) Committee would like to take a brief moment to provide an update on the status of events previously scheduled.
Co-Chairs Daniel Dunlap and Alex Spencer met with Georgia APCO President Jonathan Jones, Georgia NENA President Tamika Kendrick, and the Planning Committee last week to 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 uppdated 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) Committee would like to take a brief moment to provide an update on the status of events previously scheduled.
Co-Chairs Jonathan Jones and Alex Spencer met with Georgia APCO President Lynn Smith and Georgia NENA President Tamika Kendrick this week to discuss the APCO/NENA Fall Training Workshop scheduled for September 8 – 11, 2020 at the Atlanta Marriott Peachtree Corners. After discussing all options and considerations, we made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Fall Training Workshop.
As outlined in our last update in May, the safety and well-being of our attendees remains 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 have already started planning the 2021 Georgia Emergency Communications Conference, scheduled for March 1 – 4, 2021 at The Classic Center in Athens, Georgia. We hope to see you there!
We ask that you keep our Georgia public safety family in your thoughts and prayers as they continue fighting the COVID-19 battle.

Our APCO/NENA Fall Training Workshop is scheduled for September 8 – 11, 2020 at the Atlanta Marriott Peachtree Corners. Earlier today, Co-Chairs Jonathan Jones and Alex Spencer met with Georgia APCO President Lynn Smith and Georgia NENA President Tamika Kendrick via teleconference to discuss the status of the Fall Workshop.
While the event is still four months away, we found it important to begin discussions about the realty of being able to continue as planned as well as the need to consider contingency options should we be faced with the decision to postpone or cancel the workshop. We are currently in communication with staff from the venue to evaluate options and potential changes to comply with any applicable guidelines or orders that may be in place during the event.
Please know that the safety and well-being of our attendees is our primary focus in these discussions. While we are dedicated to bringing great training opportunities to our Public Safety Telecommunicators in Georgia, we also understand the current challenges we face with the COVID-19 pandemic.
As discussions continue, we will keep you updated on any developments as any changes are made. 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. Please keep our Georgia public safety family in your thoughts and prayers as they continue fighting the COVID-19 battle.
