Founded in 2003, the NG9-1-1 Institute works with the Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus to promote strong, more capable 9-1-1 services and emergency communications. The NG9-1-1 Institute shares the mission of the NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus in promoting public education on 9-1-1 and emergency communication issues by serving as an information clearinghouse on NG9-1-1 and emergency communication issues and seeking to foster consensus on public policy issues to promote stronger, more capable 9-1-1 services. The NG9-1-1 Institute has approximately 3,000 members throughout the nation who are devoted to advancing NG9-1-1 services. Members include public safety officials, telecommunication and industry professionals, policy makers, members of academia and citizens concerned with 9-1-1 / public safety. The NG9-1-1 Institute is governed by a Board of Directors made up of representatives from NENA, APCO, NASNA, industry, and the public elected by the membership. We seek to foster consensus on public policy issues, utilize the resources and ideas of all our members, and bring together stakeholders to promote stronger, more capable NG9-1-1 services. Institute membership is free and open to any individual who shares in this mission. Because we are sponsor supported, we welcome industry, carrier, and foundation support.
