Frequently Asked Questions
| Q. | Is the MVESB actually a consolidation that will join all the involved entities into one organization? |
| A. | The MVESB is NOT a consolidation, but instead, a Regionalization. All companies will maintain their own identities while |
| being associated with the MVESB. | |
| Q. | Will the MVESB try to take control over each department? |

| Q. | Since the MVESB has a TRAINING COORDINATOR, does that mean all training must be taken through the MVESB? |
| A. | The MVESB assigned a TRAINING COORDINATOR to give additional assistance to all current TRAINING OFFICERS. |
