[Officers] FW: 30th NYS Weekend at NFA: April 11-12, 2015

[Pohl, Andrew J (DHSES)]

This was sent to OFPC staff late last week. I think this is a good opportunity to see another side of the fire service and network. I would like to see if there is interest in the officers ranks and then open up to qualified members...any questions please let me know...

This year we are pleased to announce that we will be once again partnering with the fire service from the State of Georgia. The NFA will accommodate 330 students at the 2015 New York/Georgia Weekend. NY makes out by partnering with Georgia as we get to fill out the classes with NY students. Historically OFPC has been limited to 240 students where last year we took 264 and potentially  can take up to 300 students as Georgia was only able to muster 30.

here is the web page with the announcement and application: http://www.dhses.ny.gov/ofpc/news/events/documents/nys-weekend-2015.pdf

List of classes:

W0805 - Leadership III for Fire and EMS: Strategies for Supervisory Success
W0760 - New Fire Chief I: Challenging Issues
W0209 - Courtroom Preparation and Testimony for First Responders
W0457 - Decision Making for Initial Company Operations

W0290 - Training Operations in Small Departments
*W0523 Executive Skills Series: Exercising Leadership Ethically
*W0315 Introduction to Unified Command for Multi-agency and Catastrophic Incidents

Looking forward to another a successful and fulfilling NYS Weekend experience.

Take care,
