Call for Success
Students of Fire:
Do you know someone who has exhibited leadership skills worthy of attention?
Leading and Learning is a place to highlight wildland fire leadership successes. Submit your success story to leadership_feedback@nifc.blm.gov.
Be sure to title the email "Leading & Learning Successes" and provide as much information as possible regarding why your leader should be considered. Exceptional leaders should be nominated for the Paul Gleason Lead by Example Award.
Leadership is Action (L-580)
Development of a senior level leadership course is well underway. Leadership is Action, also referred to as L-580, is being designed to provide a venue to address a variety of challenges and current issues that IMTs and Area Commands face. The focus will be on the leadership in the context of emergency management situations encountered by personnel in the wildland fire service.
Leadership is Action is intended to enable managers to participate in continuing education opportunities such as staff rides and leadership conferences.
The first offerings of Leadership is Action (L-580) will begin in spring 2009.
For more information regarding Leadership is Action, contact Deborah Corner, NAFRI course coordinator at (520) 799-8752 or dcorner01@fs.fed.us.
