Governance of Lifesavers Conference
The Lifesavers Conference achieves its mission by harnessing the passion, dedication, and teamwork of all Lifesavers Board Members, Planning Committee members, sponsors, and other contributing partners.
Lifesavers uses our position to advocate for public policy that addresses the root causes of existing roadway problems. Guiding Principles of Lifesavers center around our goals for safer roads, including reducing road safety challenges and inequities, to provide support for all our road safety partners.
