Webinar to explain how New Jersey spends $126M it collects to maintain 911 system

The New Jersey Association of Counties will hold a virtual event discussing the infrastructure, operations and funding for the state’s 911 system.

In this session, the New Jersey Wireless Association will provide a comprehensive overview of how the state of New Jersey spends the $126 million it collects each year from a monthly telecommunication surcharge imposed on all telephone lines and why these monies should be dedicated to regionalizing, upgrading and maintaining the state’s 911 system with a precise, accurate and reliable communications network.

The event will feature two guest speakers:

  • Dominic Villecco, president, V-Comm Engineering, and president of NJWA;
  • Robert Ivanoff, managing director, Copper Hill Ventures LLC.

This workshop is free for public officials, but you must register. Contact knolan@njac.org for more information.

The update on 911 is the third in a series of virtual workshops NJAC is hosting in 2023 for public officials.
