Your Department's Strategic Plan - a Bird's Eye View of an Even Better Tomorrow

Each year, you continue an even better training plan for your members. You adapt to changes in state and federal regulations. You exceed recommendations on the number of hours committed to scenarios like live fire training, school bus extracation, disaster drills and more. You work closely with partner organizations in your city, township, county, district or state to ensure access to important classes like Firefighter I, Firefighter II and Driver/Operator.

If you're involved in EMS services, your commitment to training excellence continues with helping your members move forward with training levels like First Responder, EMT-B, EMT-I and Paramedic. Although these training demand significant time and some financial investment, they pay positive dividends in safer operations, member satisfaction and excellent service.

Your department can plan for an even better tomorrow in terms of excellence through adding one component to your training commitment: strategic planning. One annual meeting with your officers and/or members that focuses on your goals for the next three years is an investment that will pay dividends that ensure your department moves forward and builds on your unique strengths.

Investing in an independent facilitator for your strategic planning helps ensure that all voices are heard and no particular personalities or issue dominate this critical discussion on how to make your department's future even better. Everything invested in strategic planning helps bring about a bird's eye view of where to take your department in 2010 and beyond.
