Planning for the 2008 Fire Leadership
Challenge Well Underway
The 17th Annual Fire Leadership Challenge will
take place on December 4-6, 2008 at the Beaver Run
Resort in Breckenridge. The CSFCA Leadership
Challenge Committee is already working to plan a
conference that will make our final year in
Breckenridge the best ever.
The theme of the conference this year will be "Changing
Our Culture: Safeguarding Our Most Valuable Asset –
Our Firefighters." This
theme will build upon the findings of the 2007
National Firefighter Life Safety Summit related to
the need to change the culture of the fire service
if we are to make significant improvements in
firefighter health and safety. Invited speakers and
presenters for this year’s conference include J.
Gordon Routley, Ronny Coleman, and the Seattle Guys
(Air Management Survival).
This year you will also see some changes in
conference format. One of the significant changes
is the addition of a pre-conference and concurrent
session for company officers (beginning on December
3rd). This is planned to supplement the
Company Officer Leadership Symposium offered at the
IAFC’s Fire Rescue International. Other changes
include the expansion of the Colorado Fire Chief’s
Workshop to a full day and an earlier conclusion to
the conference on Saturday.
It was also decided to hold the cost of the
conference registration (exclusive of pre-conference
workshops) to 2007 levels for Colorado State Fire
Chiefs’ Association members. However, individuals
who are not members of the CSFCA will be assessed a
higher registration fee, which is anticipated to be
$50 per participant.
As always, the Exhibit Hall will showcase the latest
products, tools and innovations to help fire
departments perform at top efficiency.
Mark your calendars now and make plans to attend the
2008 Fire Leadership Challenge.
