PlantCML Director Elected to E9-1-1 Institute Board

Temecula, CA — The E9-1-1 Institute, a non-profit organization which provides administrative and policy support to the Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus, recently announced the election of Paul Fahey, director of external affairs for PlantCML, to its board of directors for the 2008-2010 term.

“I have been proud to be involved with the E9-1-1 Institute for the last five years and it is an honor to continue my commitment to the organization in this new leadership capacity,” said Fahey. “Joining the institute’s board is directly in line with my work at PlantCML and our commitment to be in tune with, and leading on, important emergency communications issues facing our industry and our nation.”   

As the administrative arm of the E9-1-1 Caucus, the E9-1-1 Institute exists to promote education and awareness of emergency communications issues at the Federal level. In addition, the E9-1-1 Institute also hosts an annual emergency communications technology fair on Capitol Hill and an awards banquet to honor outstanding public safety operations and other unsung industry heroes.

“As we began to evaluate our old call processing system, we knew it was time to make the switch to an IP-capable technology,” said Roger Wilson, executive director for Walker County 9-1-1. “Our industry is rapidly moving toward the adoption of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1), and we didn’t want to invest in a system that couldn’t be upgraded to meet future requirements. Sentinel Patriot was the answer for us.”

Before joining PlantCML two years ago, Fahey served as executive director of the State 9-1-1 Department in Massachusetts. He also served as chair of both the Institute’s Nominating Committee and the Policy Group of the IP Issues Committee, as well as a member of the Events Committee. In his new role, Fahey will support the E9-1-1 Institute’s continued focus on the evolution and education of NextGen 9-1-1, addressing emergency communications issues in 2009 and beyond.

“We are proud of Paul for his ongoing work with the E9-1-1 Institute and fully support his enhanced commitment as a board member,” said Tim Fuller, president of PlantCML. “As an industry leader and advocate for 9-1-1 communications, we look forward to broadening our relationship with the E9-1-1 Institute.”
