What You Have To Offer CAFAA

United we succeed and divided we fail. Your dues are important to keep CAFAA functioning, however, in addition to your dues; you have something else to contribute (namely your time in the form of active participation on one of our many committees, and your ideas on how we can improve services to our members). Together we can develop progressive standards for the Automatic Fire Alarm Industry and support sound legislation affecting the Automatic Fire Alarm Industry and the safety of life and property. CAFAA needs you and you need CAFAA.

If you can think of any ways in which CAFAA can improve operations and serve you better as a member, please contact one of the Board of Directors. Their email addresses are available the Officers page.
