Message from the IAFF General President
Harold A. Schaitberger
Dear IAFF Member:
The 2007 IAFF Legislative Conference promises to be a
historic event, and I hope you will make plans to attend. In addition to
providing an opportunity to lobby on IAFF priority legislative issues,
the Conference will also feature one of the nation’s first Presidential
forums featuring prospective 2008 Presidential candidates from both
political parties.
To accommodate the presidential forum, we’ve added an
extra full day to the conference, so please make your travel
arrangements to allow you to stay for the all-day session on Wednesday,
March 14.
In addition to taking part in this exciting political
event, your attendance at the 2007 Legislative Conference will also be
crucial to advancing our legislative agenda. The 2006 election brought
many changes to the nation’s capitol, giving Democrats control of the
House and Senate for the first time in 12 years. This presents an
extraordinary opportunity for the nation’s fire fighters, and the active
involvement of IAFF local leaders will be essential to our success.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely and fraternally,
Harold A. Schaitberger
General President
