EMPowerment e-Learning Series

NEMA is excited to announce that Season 4 of the NEMA E-Learning Series – EMpowerment is coming soon! More than 4000 people registered for Seasons 1, 2 and 3, and we’re excited to continue this important and informative educational series. NEMA will host four sessions, scheduled quarterly, with great topics presented by a cadre of NEMA member experts and leaders who will share their expertise, help expand our understanding, and offer innovative solutions to the pressing issues keeping emergency managers up at night.
NEMA is fortunate to have the best, most experienced professionals in the emergency management and public safety field among our members. This series is designed to showcase those experts, offer a platform to share knowledge, create opportunities for interaction, exchange ideas, and create a more prepared and ready nation.
Past NEMA virtual learning sessions have drawn audiences from 150 to over 1000 participants! Sponsors of these 60 to 90-minute e-learning sessions will choose their topics, speakers, and moderators. NEMA will manage registration and host the sessions on our Zoom platform, with session recordings posted to the NEMA YouTube channel, NEMAforyou. Sponsors and presenters will be included in email messages, receive the attendee list, and may include a question in the post-session survey.
Dates for the quarterly, live presentations are August 20, November 19, February 18, and May 20. Sponsors provide topics, content, and subject matter experts, and NEMA will coordinate pre-planning, registration, production, share the attendee list, and post-event survey responses. The presentations are recorded and live forever via NEMA’s YouTube channel, NEMAforyou! Previous recordings have been viewed hundreds of times. Sponsorship for each session is $4000.
If your organization is interested in sponsoring, please email for more information.
