Leadership Development/Fire Officer

From rookie to chief, outstanding leaders in the fire services community receive training through development programs and the annual Leadership Symposium. A development capstone program, the Fire Service Chief Executive Officer Program is designed for executives within the fire service with modules taught by professors from the Mays Business School. At the annual Leadership Symposium, fire and EMS service leaders receive up-to-date information on leadership, management, safety, budgeting and other topics through sessions that meet continuing education requirements for Texas fire officer and EMS personnel.
