SFFMA Districts

Overview

Currently, SFFMA officially recognizes sixteen districts. Each represents a particular geographic area, which together include every county in the state. The districts are set forth and enumerated in the state association’s constitution and by-laws.

Each district is eligible to maintain organizational membership in SFFMA.

Districts are authorized to formally submit amendments to the SFFMA constitution and by-laws. Submitted amendments approved by the Constitution and By-Laws Committee are presented to and voted upon by the delegates at the SFFMA annual conference.

Duties of the Districts

It is the duty of each district to:

  • Provide district meeting information (date, time, location, agenda, etc.) to the SFFMA main office prior to a scheduled meeting. SFFMA will post district meeting information on its website for all members.

  • Communicate and coordinate the activities and business of the state association at the district/local level.

  • Provide updates such as officer installation, upcoming events, and other important announcements to the SFFMA main office.

  • Assist fire departments and members in their districts.

  • Provide a written record or report of their district’s activities at the SFFMA annual conference each year. Click here to download a copy of the District Officer’s Meeting Report that may be used for this purpose.

  • Submit a list of eligible candidates annually to serve on each of the state committees to assist and perform the business of SFFMA.

  • Submit a nominee from their district for Firefighter of the Year, and a nominee for EMS Responder of the Year awards. The awards are presented at the SFFMA annual conference.

  • Submit three posters from each division of their district poster contest to enter into the Gary Tilton Memorial Fire Prevention Poster Contest at the SFFMA annual conference.
