Fully Involved: An important update from us. 3.3.26
GSFA • March 3, 2026
Hi everyone! Here’s the most recent version of the elected officials guide. There were some very minor changes on page two to strengthen wording about funding. IAFF, IAFC, and NVFC have approved and CFSI was brought in late - trying to get it approved in time to be distributed at CFSI.
This is just informational - no action required!
