Description
You are cordially invited to the 2023 ARFF Training Alliance ARFF Leadership Symposium
The ARFF Training Alliance, a joint cooperative between the ARFF Working Group and the American Association of Airport Executives will once again be presenting the ARFF Leadership Symposium.
Being an ARFF Officer quite often requires you to wear multiple hats. In an effort to assist and prepare you for conducting day-to-day operations, you must be well versed in management/union relations, FAA inspection process, FD/Airport management relations, along with a variety of professional challenges long before you respond out the door for an ALERT 3. Oh, and let us not forget the tactics and strategies that encompass our profession, we need to know the how, when and where while developing a game plan on what to do about it. As in the past we look to provide topic areas of interest for Shaft Officer, ARFF Commanders, Training Officers, Deputy Chiefs and Fire Chiefs.
The ARFF Training Alliance ARFF Leadership Symposium will be held at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort – February 26 – March 1, 2023. For hotel reservations go to this LINK.
