The demands on today’s fire officers of all ranks are constantly increasing. Traditional training is not enough for today’s fire service leader. The New York State Association of Fire Chiefs (NYSAFC) recognizes that leadership development is necessary now if we are to protect the future of the fire service. It is also crucial for chief officers to support those individuals performing the day-to-day operations of the fire department, as sharpening the leadership skills of your line officers will enhance the overall strength of your team.
To meet the need for this critical training, NYSAFC offers the Company Officers Leadership Training (COLT) program in locations throughout New York state.
For the COLT program NYSAFC has brought together a slate of instructors, nationally renowned experts in company officer leadership both on and off the fireground, for an energizing learning experience. NYSAFC is pleased to announce the dates and locations for upcoming COLT programs in Westchester County (December 6-7, 2013, Rye Brook, N.Y.), the Capital District (February 7-8, 2014, Albany, N.Y.), and Monroe County (April 4-5, 2014, Rochester, N.Y.).
The COLT program at each site begins on Friday with a morning lecture "Managing Firegrounds Successfully" with Chief Lawrence Schultz, District of Columbia Fire & Emergency Medical Services, followed by an afternoon lecture "So You Want to Be a Company Officer?" with Retired Lieutenant Robert Pressler, FDNY. Each COLT program concludes with a Saturday morning lecture "Leading from the Front" with Chief Lawrence Schultz.
Registration for COLT is $150 per person (for NYSAFC Individual and Department Members) and $175 per person for non-members. Both pre-registration and on-site registration will be available at all sites.
