Exhibiting at State or National Fire Marshal Events? Help Us Put the ERCES Handbook Into the Hands of AHJs
Posted on March 21, 2024
Attending, exhibiting at, even sponsoring, a State or National Fire Marshal event this year? If so, we invite you to join our special ERCES Handbook Sponsorship Program, which allows SBC members to purchase one or more boxes of books (eight books per box) at a deep discount, affix their own labels and hand out the book to local AHJs and Radio System Staff. This is a great way to spread the enforcement message, educate jurisdiction staff, and build a relationship based on gratitude and value with book recipients.
State and National Fire Marshal Association events represent a fantastic opportunity to engage the local jurisdiction staff who adopt, enforce, inspect, and approve ERCES codes, rules, and systems. The level of understanding ranges from newcomers to experts, with many shades of gray in between. It provides an opportunity to clear up misconceptions, allow the AHJs to put a face to a name, and for them to get acquainted with better ideas and new players in the sector.
Getting the Handbook into the hands of AHJs and Radio System Staff
Several SBC members have already taken advantage of this special opportunity.
"We at RFE Communications enjoyed being part of the Safer Buildings Coalition book sponsorship program during this year's Florida and Texas Fire Marshals Association shows. We are proud to properly equip AHJs with more knowledge at their disposal regarding ERCES”
Armand Ely
President, RFE Communications
How the Sponsorship Program Works
Getting ERCES Handbooks into the hands of AHJs and Radio Systems Owners (Frequency License Holders) is a key initiative to:
- Expand Enforcement
- Have a more consistent interpretation of codes
- Reduce misunderstandings
- Serve as a shared guide that System Integrators can use in their conversations with jurisdictions
Here's how the program works:
- SBC Member sponsors a carton (or more) of books to be distributed to jurisdiction staff (AHJs, Fire Marshals, Frequency License Holders). There are 8 books to a carton
- SBC Member can affix a label to the front of the book, indicating the book was provided "Courtesy of [your company]"
- Member can add contact information, web address, or QR code so book recipients can follow up and develop rapport with your team
- Cartons are priced at $999 - a deep 26% discount off of list
- Member can distribute directly, or in some cases SBC can distribute for you
