  KIn recent years, CAFAA launched the regional AHJ Roundtable sessions that have been rated as informative to, and engaging for all in attendance.
  

  This meeting is an opportunity for you to have a mixed panel of AHJs respond to your technical question(s).  

  This is not only an educational session but also an opportunity to network with the AHJs and others in the industry.

  Continuing Education Units will be awarded to attendees requesting a certificate.

  CAFAA will not issue notes from this meeting nor are any recordings of this event allowed.  Register so that you can experience this event.

  As an incentive for you to submit questions to the Panel, you will receive a Raffle ticket if you submit a question and it is included in the final version of the Advance Questions (five ticket max per person).  Please note that due to time constraints, the Roundtable judges may omit some questions submitted to eliminate duplicate questions or in favor of providing more challenging questions for the panelists. Two prizes will be awarded from a drawing that will be held during the lunch break.  A Grand Prize will be awarded to the 'best' question as evaluated by the judges.  You will need to be present to win.

  Submit your question(s) to info@cafaa.com by Friday June 09, 2023.

  THE STATE AGENCY MEETING:
  

  THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2023

  Each year, beginning in 1996, the California Automatic Fire Alarm Association (CAFAA) has hosted an event (the State Agency meeting) in Sacramento, where representative from the California State Fire Marshal's Office, the Division of the State Architect, Division of Occupational Safety and Health Planning & Development and the Building Standards Commission are invited to meet with some of their stakeholders.  This group includes CAFAA members, Manufacturer's and the AHJs.

  The purpose of the State Agency meeting is to continue the open dialogue between the code enforcers, code promulgators and fire alarm system professionals on issues of mutual concern so that we may better serve the citizens of California.

  So that the most thoughtful responses can be given,  your questions will be provided to the State Agency panelists in advance of the meeting.
