25 Online Training Scholarships Available to Volunteers for Brave Fire Leader Academy

Are you a volunteer looking for a unique online training opportunity? The North Carolina Volunteer Workforce Solutions (NCVWS) FEMA SAFER grant is offering 25 scholarships for volunteer members to attend the Brave Fire Leader Online Academy.

This leadership academy is a hybrid model between self-paced and cohort. A cohort is a group of students working together through the same academic curriculum. The training provides a flexible but structured pace to help volunteer members fast track their leadership success. Participants will learn how to develop a flexible leadership style to engage and develop their teams’ members. They also will learn how to use the skills they have to prevent people problems and improve the impact of their job performance.

The academy will run from April through June 2021. Participants will complete three 30-minute online classes every two weeks and participate in bimonthly Zoom calls for 90 minutes on Saturday from 10 – 11:30 AM ET to enhance the learning experience. All participants will be matched with accountability partners to maximize success and provide a unique networking experience.

The deadline to apply is April 5.  For questions, contact Derek Bullington.

An important message from NCSFA President, Scott Rogers.

Friends, as this years' President of the NCSFA, it is one of my goals to see firefighters receive some protection and assistance in the event they contract cancer as a result of their duties as a firefighter. We have been able to convince many in the halls of our legislature just how important this is and have a bill that will provide special insurance for all firefighters in the state including volunteers at no cost to the department or individual (HB535). Now we have to get it passed!

I would like to personally invite each of you to attend legislative day this year or have someone from your department attend. We really need your support.

The North Carolina Fire Service Legislative Day is May 5th. It is critical we show our support and let our Representatives know what the key issues are for the fire service in North Carolina. Please plan to attend and make our voices heard.

When: May 5, 2021 at 8 a.m.

Where: NC Department of Insurance Albemarle Building, 325 N. Salisbury St, Raleigh, NC. 27603-5926

Please feel free to share this invitation with all your fire service friends as well.

Respectfully,

Scott Rogers

Congratulations to Doug Bissette, your new Eastern representative to the NC State Firefighters' Association! Bissette was elected after online voting facilitated by the NCSFA. This is a new format to cast votes for this position, and allows more Eastern departments to take part in the process.

Bissette is currently 1st Vice President of the ECFA and a Battalion Chief with Wilson Fire Rescue Services.
