Mission:
The mission of the North Carolina Child Passenger Safety Conference is to provide continuing education and networking opportunities to currently certified child passenger safety technicians and instructors in North Carolina. The conference aims to provide sessions that reflect diversity of the field, with the intent of increasing knowledge and sharing best practices throughout North Carolina and beyond. This event is structured to bring together hundreds of technicians, instructors and industry leaders to discuss the most current occupant protection resources, technologies, products, and programs.
Who organizes the conference?
The North Carolina Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Training Committee organizes the conference.
The NC CPS Training Committee is a group of child passenger safety advocates representing agencies and programs involved in state or local CPS educational and training efforts from all regions of North Carolina including representatives of state and local law enforcement agencies, fire and rescue departments, health departments and hospitals. Individual CPS advocates are also represented on the committee.
NC has been supporting child passenger safety advocates and educators with a child passenger safety conference periodically since 1982 and annually since 2006.
