SUMMARY:Triggers\, Traps\, & Triumphs: Transitioning From an All-Volunteer to a Combination Department
DESCRIPTION:Many departments across the country are looking at the combination staffing model as a vital means of continuing to provide quality service to their communities.

Join us as Spencer Cheatham\, Fire Chief of the West Point Volunteer Fire Department\, leads a deep dive into the strategic realities of the hybrid model. We will discuss why a “quick fix” approach often fails and how a structured roadmap is essential for long-term operational success. \n\n**All live attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance from Provident**
