NYSAFC Announces Company Officers Leadership Training (COLT) Schedule

NYSAFC is pleased to announce the 2015-2016 Company Officers Leadership Training (COLT) series, which includes programs in two new locations.

The demands on today’s fire officers of all ranks are constantly increasing. NYSAFC recognizes that leadership development is necessary now to protect the future of the fire service. To meet the need for this critical training, NYSAFC offers the COLT program throughout New York state. For COLT, NYSAFC has brought together a slate of instructors, nationally renowned experts in company officer leadership both on and off the fireground, for an energizing learning experience.

Each COLT program will feature the lectures "Company Level Leadership: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" with Lieutenant Tim Klett, FDNY and "The Fire Officer" with Battalion Chief Daniel McMaster, Alexandria (VA) Fire Department.

The 2015-2016 COLT series will be held in Orange County (December 4-5, 2015 – Goshen, NY), the Capital District (February 5-6, 2016 – Latham, NY), and Onondaga County (April 8-9, 2016 – East Syracuse, NY).
