SUMMARY:The Fire Chief's Guide to Surviving Local Politics
DESCRIPTION:Chief officers are often well versed in the strategies\, tactics\, and operations of their departments. In their new positions\, comes the added responsibility of becoming the “face” of their agency with every encounter they have. The focus is on the formal and informal politics that a newly promoted chief officer must be ready to encounter\, navigate\, and engage upon. These will be some of\, if not the most critical relationships that must be developed for both the chief and agency to be successful. This interactive presentation will discuss how politics impact not only the internal stakeholders\, but also how external stakeholders and their support are affected by it. Emphasis will be placed on the attitude\, practices\, and steps that the chief can take to avoid mayhem and survive local politics. \nJoin Jared Renshaw\, Fire Commissioner at Western Berks Fire Department\, as he’ll talk about the topics mentioned above and more! \n**All live attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance from Provident**

SUMMARY:Failure to Lead
DESCRIPTION:Leading America’s Fire Service Organizations can be a difficult task at times. Challenges coming from different angles can beat leaders down and may want to simply go into “survival mode.” While this may seem OK – fire service organizations only go in two directions: Forward or Backwards. There is no in-between. There are grave risks when leaders don’t lead which can have severe consequences for the organization and its members. Learn from Bruce Bjorge at Lexipol\, as he’ll discuss the risks and steps to reduce or mitigate these risks for the success of your organization in the future. \n**All live attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance from Provident**
