“Engaging Future Leaders” Reflecting on the Next Generation of Fire Service Leaders
One aspect of my job that I enjoy most is traveling to fire service events and having the opportunity to address audiences who are interested in learning about the work being performed by CFSI and the other national organizations on Capitol Hill.
