NBFAA Primed for Mission Possible at ISC East
Members Receive Money-Saving Opportunities on Hotel and Travel

Irving, Texas, Aug. 3, 2006 – It’s that time of year again. Fall is on the horizon and that means it’s time to start planning for the annual National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) Fall Conference and Chartered State Association (CSA) Symposium scheduled for October 22 – 25, 2006. So pack your bags and be prepared to combine fun with meetings, networking opportunities and educational events.

NBFAA will continue the 2006 Mission Possible theme which highlights the importance of the association’s overall mission to represent, support and promote the electronic life safety, security and systems industry, empowering members to grow their businesses.

“One of the primary benefits of NBFAA membership is the networking opportunities we provide. Through this event, and other conferences, meetings and trade shows throughout the year and across the country, NBFAA members have access to top companies in our industry, as well as companies that support their business growth and stability,” said NBFAA President George P. Gunning. “We hope everyone can attend and take advantage of the various opportunities available only through face-to-face networking.”

In addition to the prospect of networking and gaining ideas to grow their business, this year members have the convenience of easy access to the ISC East Expo via the New York Waterway Ferry right outside the Sheraton Suites on the Hudson in Weehawken, N.J. Combine the savings in Weehawken with the discounted airfare through American Airlines and members can’t afford to miss this year’s NBFAA conference.

In addition to the CSA Symposium, other conference highlights will include the association’s annual chapter awards luncheon, a “Breakfast With” session and a member reception. The semi-annual face-to-face Board of Directors and committee meetings will also give members the opportunity to interact with other experts in the industry.

Meetings in Weehawken will be followed by events and educational opportunities at the annual ISC East event at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. NBFAA members who register for the association’s conference will receive free registration to ISC East and a 20 percent discount to the educational courses, many of which are accredited by NBFAA’s National Training School.

NBFAA members are eligible to receive hotel and airfare discounts made available to them through NBFAA. The Sheraton Suites on the Hudson is an all-suite hotel situated right on the Hudson River with spectacular views of the entire New York City skyline. The hotel, located only a half-mile from Manhattan, makes attending ISC East Expo less expensive and readily accessible.

Registration is also easier than ever with the addition of an online registration form. When members visit NBFAA’s Web site at www.alarm.org they will be able to register for the conference, get information on booking a room at the Sheraton and details on how to get discounted airfare through American Airlines. The event is sure to fill up fast, so register early.
