The Alfred K. Whitehead Legislative Conference is the   cornerstone of the IAFF's legislative efforts.  The IAFF has won significant legislative victories on Capitol Hill due largely to the relationships that local IAFF leaders have with their elected officials. The Legislative Conference provides members with the opportunity both to strengthen these important relationships and also to lobby on IAFF priority legislation. 

Now is a crucial time for our union.  In the run-up to the 2014 elections, we have an extraordinary opportunity to influence the Congress on legislation that directly impacts the jobs, economic security and safety of IAFF members. 

The pages on this website will provide you with additional information on the Conference, registration, and accommodations while you are in Washington.
