Accordingly, this Annual Meeting will emphasize those three messages.

At the ticketed luncheon, you’ll hear from Don Welsh, president and CEO of Destinations International, the global trade association for all destination marketing organizations (DMOs). Welsh will be espousing the value of tourism, what it brings to our communities, why the work of GRCVB is instrumental and how tourism benefits the quality of place for all of Wake County.

The South Atlantic FIRE RESCUE Expo was envisioned by the NCSFA as an extension and expansion of the required annual Conference and Business Meeting in 2009.

Since then, SAFRE has grown into one of the largest and most popular regional fire-rescue service conferences, conventions and expos. Come see for yourself.
