President’s Message

Steve Heide, 2020 CSMFO President, Chino Valley Fire District

Once a year we produce a print version of our CSMFO News. The printed magazine covers all things conference and provides a great way to look back fondly on our most recent annual conference. It also puts in perspective, the scope of our annual conference. Including our Tuesday preconference classes, we offered nearly 60 educational sessions at this year’s conference. We also embraced over 400 first-time conference attendees this year. Although bigger is not always better, we enjoyed record setting attendance at our CSMFO 2020 Annual Conference, topping out at just over 2,000 attendees. Thank you to our conference sponsors and exhibitors, without whom our fantastic conference would not have been possible. Thanks as well to our staff and volunteers for working tirelessly to plan and execute our largest conference ever. Of course, thank you to everyone who was able to attend this year’s conference as well, and if you were able to join us for Yesterday, Tomorrow and Finance at the Disneyland Hotel this year, I hope you walked away feeling that the return on your investment was highly favorable. So as you peruse this conference edition of the CSMFO News, I trust that you’ll feel inspired to join us next February, as we move to the San Jose Convention Center for our first northern California conference since Sacramento in 2017. The dates for our 2021 conference will be February 16-19. As you catch your breath between work deadlines, I hope you enjoy this printed edition of our CSMFO News.
