The NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus, co-chaired by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Reps. Richard Hudson (R-NC) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA), is the only bipartisan, bicameral organization dedicated exclusively to NG 9-1-1 issues and plays a unique role in raising the visibility of NG9-1-1 policy issues and funding needs.

During the past 20 years, the Institute has successfully raised awareness of 9-1-1 issues with members of Congress and their staff and created a platform to recognize the admirable efforts of public safety and 9-1-1 industry leaders. The Institute also hosts two long standing annual public safety events on Capitol Hill, the NG9-1-1 Honor Awards and the Technology Showcase.

NG9-1-1 Institute sponsors include: Comcast, T-Mobile, AT&T, CTIA, OnStar, Motorola Solutions, Verizon, Intrado, GeoComm, Mission Critical Partners, Comtech, RapidDeploy, NGA, Google, RapidSOS, AWS, Carbyne, and Meta/Facebook.
