FARA April Webinar Recordings Now Available!
Although the 2009 Training Symposium in Denver was canceled, FARA was still able to provide its members with three training Webinar classes in April, 2009! Additionally, the FARA Annual General Membership Meeting was also held via webinar.
If you were not able to participate in the webinar sessions, all is not lost! FARA was able to record the presentations and has posted them on the web site so you can catch up. If you have never viewed a recorded Webinar before, it is easy! All you need is a computer, internet access, audio capabilities and a media player on your computer. You will be able to see the presentation, listen to the presenter on your computer, and even hear the Q & A during and after the presentation!
Part of the FARA mission is to provide training and a forum for public safety, the alarm industry, and the alarm user to exchange information on successful false alarm reduction programs in a cooperative environment. The ability to review previous webinars, as well as attend future ones, will be a great way to continue to provide our members with educational opportunities and provide for interaction among all parties as we work towards successful alarm management programs.

Most training symposium attendees have a specific need that they want to address, whether it is their first time to participate or they are regulars to the training classes. This session identified those needs and gave the answers or learned that some topics would be addressed in future sessions. There is nothing too big or too small that FARA and its members can’t work on if we don’t already have what you are looking for. Don’t reinvent the wheel. We have all the parts you need! Once you have viewed this session, if you have additional suggestions, please let us know!
