NYSAFC is pleased to announce the dates and locations for its new SAFER-funded Recruitment and Marketing Assistance Project Training.
The three-hour training is free and is targeted to public information officers, public relations coordinators, and recruitment coordinators from volunteer fire departments.
This training is designed to help volunteer fire departments interact more effectively with their local media and also develop campaigns to help them better market themselves to their community. It will feature speakers with years of experience in fire department media relations, public relations, marketing, and fire department recruitment. During an interactive segment of the training, some participants will also be given an opportunity to practice their new media relations skills in front of a camera. In addition, training speakers will discuss developing and implementing recruitment plans, and any participating department with a current recruitment plan is encouraged to bring a copy to share.
2012 dates and locations of the training are:
• Sat., March 24, Monroe Co. Public Safety Training Facility, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
• Sat., March 31, Verdoy Fire Department (Albany Co.), 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
