2019 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

Critical Thinking, Not Critical Speaking (Room 2B)

This program will focus on recognizing the value of engaging and listening to others in one’s department, regardless of their rank of time in the service.  The program emphasizes the underlying concept that innovation comes from the acceptance of the variety of backgrounds and experiences that individuals bring with them into our departments. Information challenges attendees to embrace new ideas and work with others to develop them, rather than disregard their input.
