Dear Colleagues:

I invite you to join me at the 2006 NEMA Annual Conference in Orange Beach, Alabama.  This conference provides an opportunity for us to come together to discuss the many challenges that face us today, share solutions, grow professionally and network with peers.  During the conference we will hear from those involved in shaping the future of homeland security and emergency management, strengthen relationships with our partner organizations, and share NEMA's views on all hazards emergency preparedness with the leadership in Washington.

It continues to be NEMA's goal to enhance the overall capabilities of emergency management to meet the challenge of any and all disasters facing our country.  Please join us in Orange Beach to learn and share with your fellow NEMA members and emergency professionals.

Sincerely,

Bruce Baughman
NEMA 2005-2006 President
