An annual winter conference brings together trustees, commissioners, chief officers, administrative staff, and pension board members to exchange ideas and attend educational programs. Sessions cover topics such as tax levies, budgets, legal updates, labor contracts, investing, and fiduciary duties-benefiting both volunteer and paid fire districts. Trustees can earn over three CEU hours required for Advanced Trustee certification, and pension board members can earn up to 16 CEUs by attending the full event.

Hosted by the NIAFPD in conjunction with the IAFPD, the IFCA, and various other Illinois fire service organizations this annual event brings together trustees, fire chiefs and legislators from throughout the state to discuss issues in a relaxed social setting.
