SAN MARCOS – The 8th annual TEEX Leadership Development Symposium drew 859 emergency responders from across Texas, seven other states and as far away as Peru to San Marcos on Jan. 11-13.
Keynote speakers included Scott Waddle, former U.S. Navy Commander of the USS Greeneville; John Salka, FDNY Battalion Chief (Retired); John Antal, U.S. Army Colonel (retired); and Geoffrey Tumlin, leadership consultant and author of “Stop Talking Start Communicating.”
There is no registration fee for Texas resident firefighters to attend the conference, and sessions are geared to meet continuing education requirements. The symposium is sponsored by TEEX Emergency Services Training Institute (ESTI) and funded, in part, by Texas general revenue.
The 9th annual Leadership Development Symposium will be held Jan. 9-11, 2017, in Frisco, TX.
