Why Should You Attend lifesavers?
While it is impossible to correlate reduced crashes,
injuries and fatalities to attendance at a conference,
the Lifesavers program is put together by a dedicated
group of highway safety experts from both the public
and private sectors. We strive to base workshops on
evidence-based programs that can be replicated in
communities throughout the country. If you haven't
attended a Lifesavers conference in a while, we urge
you to join us in Nashville. We are confident that you
won't go away disappointed.
Conference attendees come from the public and
private sectors and represent many career fields.
Lifesavers draws attendees from:
+ Child passenger safety professionals
r
+ State and local law enforcement
+ Community traffic safety programs
+ State and local emergency medical services,
and public health
+ Injury prevention programs
+ Federal and state highway safety agencies
+ Prosecutors and judges involved in traffic
safety issues
+ The automotive and insurance industries
Advocacy and research
Lifesavers participants meet with their highway safety
peers in a forum where they can share program successes,
learn from each other, and develop alliances with people
from all over the country. .
