 Posted on September 24, 2024

As we step into another season of collaboration and innovation with our new board of directors, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we are on together as part of the Safer Buildings Coalition. Our mission—eliminating wireless dead spots inside buildings—is more than just a goal; it’s a commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to critical communication services when they need them the most.
 

The Power of Unity
At the heart of our Coalition lies a diverse group of stakeholders, each bringing unique perspectives and expertise. This diversity is our strength, enabling us to tackle the complex challenges of wireless connectivity head-on. As we grow together, we must embrace the power of collaboration.

“By working together, we amplify our voice in the code development process, influence government affairs, and drive thought leadership that shapes the future of our industry.”

As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” By working together, we amplify our voice in the code development process, influence government affairs, and drive thought leadership that shapes the future of our industry.

Engaging in Code Development and Government Affairs
The Coalition’s participation in the code development process is vital. By being actively involved, we ensure that building codes reflect the latest technologies and best practices for eliminating dead spots. Moreover, our collective efforts in government affairs amplify our message, advocating for policies that support the installation and maintenance of robust wireless infrastructure. As Thomas Edison once remarked, “Vision without execution is hallucination.” Our vision requires action, and your engagement is essential.

Thought Leadership for Today and Tomorrow
As new concepts and technologies emerge, the need for effective solutions becomes increasingly critical. The Safer Buildings Coalition is dedicated to providing thought leadership on the resources needed today and in the future.

The Value of Member Engagement
Engagement in the Coalition is more than just membership; it’s about being part of a dynamic network that drives real change. Active participation helps you connect with other leaders in the field, share best practices, and showcase your commitment to eliminating wireless dead spots.

This not only elevates your brand but also reinforces the collective impact we can make when we come together for a common cause.

Together, We Can Make a Difference
Ultimately, our mission is about people—ensuring that everyone has access to reliable communication when it matters most. By collaborating and supporting one another, we can make strides towards a future where no one must experience a wireless dead spot. As we unite our efforts, remember that “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” —Phil Jackson.

We encourage all members to engage actively with the coalition, share your ideas, and participate in upcoming initiatives. Together, we can transform our vision into reality. Thank you for your continued commitment to our mission. Let’s continue working together to ensure that every building is a safe, connected
