The Everyone Goes Home® Speakers Bureau is a support program to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation in an effort to prevent line-of-duty deaths and injuries. The bureau provides nationally recognized speakers to address larger local audiences in the promotion of the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives and other safety issues. Support for speakers from the foundation includes: identifying the right personality and topic for the right conference, coordination with the sponsoring agency, and logistic support for speaker travel. These programs are intended for large venues of at least 250 attendees. In addition, the Speakers Bureau supports the delivery of the Courage to be Safe(SM) Program's Train-the-Trainers. The Courage to be Safe(SM) Train-the-Trainer classes are provided to at least 25 qualified instructors at state events to pursue the goal of having a cadre of Courage to be Safe(SM) instructors in the 30 states with the highest (historic) rate of line-of-duty deaths. The Bureau identifies programs that meet the criteria then communicates the information to the program advocates who then promote the programs within their state. This program will continue to make programs available to fire departments that may not have the resources to hire national speakers or attend national conferences. Requests for speakers can be made through the EveryoneGoesHome.com contact form.
