Wednesday April 29 – 630 to 730 PM

Jerry Ozog, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Fire & Emergency Servicers Institute

All volunteer fire companies have to interact with local government officials. Those officials, elected or appointed may hold tremendous power over the organization. Too many times an VFCs only communication with local government is at budget time or when a crisis occurs. Positive relationships with public officials are essential to providing the best possible service to your community. This session will identify why unclear expectations between public officials and leaders of VFCs can lead to problems. Solutions to those problems may be easier than expected. As they say, it’s all about relationships.

Correction - SB 1274

What was the reason to exclude Police?

NO! Not unless we fix the municipal authority laws. These are taxing bodies with no accountability, no transparency, and no public oversight.
