To All,
Thanks for making DRONERESPONDERS’ first monthly “Conversation on Public Safety UAS with the FAA’s Mike O’Shea”, a huge success with phenomenal registrations and attendance. Each month on the second Wednesday at 4 pm EST, Mike O’Shea will facilitate a topic discussion and bring in various FAA team members to share, discuss and answer questions. These webinars are designed to be informative, conversational and engaging. If you have topics of specific interest on FAA public safety related topics, please send me an email. To be sure you are informed about other opportunities and information, be sure to encourage others to join at DRONERESPONDERS.ORG (membership is FREE).

Also, thanks to our top level sponsors DJI and SKYDIO which make these webinars and podcasts available to you at no cost.
And I would be remiss if I did not recognize and thank Mike O’Shea with the FAA and the entire team at the FAA (You know who you are) for their support of public safety and DRONERESPONDERS, 2020 was a phenomenal year and 2021 promises to be even better!
