Reminder: The Benefits of SBC Sponsorship

SBC Sponsorship can help your organization achieve your business goals while advancing the important SBC Mission of eliminating in-building wireless dead zones, or as we like to say it, to “do well while doing good”.

Here are some testimonials from some of our frequent SBC Sponsors:

Let me just say that FirstNet built with AT&T has found Safer Buildings Coalition 2022 seminars to be immensely valuable in helping advocate and advance FirstNet in-building coverage in support of first responders.  I personally have learned something at each seminar and I look forward to the 2023 Seminar lineup.  Exciting times ahead!!

Stephen Devine  Director
FirstNet Strategy and Policy

SBC Code Training Sponsorships are a great way to further the SBC Mission, position your company as a committed leader in the public safety space, as well as enhancing your own knowledge and competency on the subject material.  You get from your membership what you put into it!

Charlie Schulz – Director, Public Safety and DAS
Alliance Corporation

Westell Technologies finds great benefit from being a Safer Buildings Coalition Member.  It allows our firm to partner with SBC on seminars to stay in front of our Integration & Distribution partners as well as meet with Authorities Having Jurisdiction throughout the United States.  These sessions are a tremendous value as Code interpretation, Project design parameters and the stakeholders vary from city to city.  Don’t delay, join SBC and get planning your seminars for 2023 as soon as possible.

 Kevin Kurz – Director of Distribution Sales / Westell Technologies

Sponsoring a seminar with SBC is interactive informative and great way to meet and greet AHJ’s from your local jurisdictions. It also increases Your understanding of National fire codes and their interpretation.
