If you were asked to picture “the face of the fire service,” what would you see? More importantly, who would you see? For many, that answer is far different now than it might have been twenty years ago.
Our society often debates the meaning of the word “progress,” but for the vast majority of us, inclusion and understanding are part and parcel of truly positive social change. A diverse department is a strong one – the more perspectives, experiences, and conversations an organization has, the more effective and resilient it can become.
This theme is central to the IAFC’s overall mission, and we hope you’ll join us at an upcoming event designed to “lead the leaders” of the fire & emergency service into a promising new future.
Join us at FRI and attend our Diversity Breakfast, scheduled to take place on Friday, August 16 at 7 AM in Ballroom A1 of the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center (Dallas, TX). Sponsored by Grainger, Motorola Solutions, and Verizon Frontline, this event will feature roundtable discussions with fellow leaders, dedicated resource-sharing, and open dialogue with some of the world’s foremost experts on diversity in the fire service.
Seats are limited and tickets are required to attend this one-of-a-kind event. You may secure your ticket during FRI registration or add it to your existing registration package. We hope to see you there!
