 | June 9 Chapter Meeting | |
 Join SN-ICC June 9 for the chapter's next monthly meeting. This meeting will feature Randy Hunter with Cooper Bussmann. Hunter will provide a one-hour overview on selective coordination of emergency systems.

Types of selectively coordinated systems will be briefly described, as well as why they're important, especially related to the unique properties encountered in the Las Vegas Valley. SN-ICC will provide 0.1 CEUs to attendees.
