Illinois Fire Chiefs' Educational & Research Foundation
Presents the 
 Senior Officer Focus for the Twenty First Century
  March 19 & 20, 2010
Hosted by the Charleston FD  

The Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Illinois Fire Chief’s Foundation feel there is a great need for training senior officers who act in, or aspire to, the chief officer rank in their organization. As a senior officer in your department you are faced with many responsibilities not covered specifically in company officer training. We have put together a two–day mini-symposium for senior officers to help you better understand the duties and liabilities. 
This program is for senior officers who may be new at the chief officer rank or who act to support that administrative function regardless of rank.

Present the 
2010 Annual Golf Outing

The Illinois Fire Chiefs’ Education and Research Foundation provides scholarships and grants to students and educational institutions for undergraduate, post-graduate and vocational education. In 2009, the Foundation was able to provide scholarships valued in excess of $70,000 to Fire Service Personnel throughout the State of Illinois. A non-profit corporation, with 501 {c} 3 status, the Foundation is funded by limited sources including individuals, corporations, and special events. All proceeds from this event including donations go directly to the Foundation for these scholarships & grants.

 

The primary source of funds is attributed to the Annual Golf Outing Fund Raiser. We are holding this year’s annual golf outing on
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at Gleneagles Country Club in Lemont, IL.

Illinois Task Force on Firefighter Life Safety


Throughout the last year, a task force has been working on the advancement of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives (see sidebar and www.everyonegoeshome.com).   It was decided recently that the Task Force will become a sub-group of the Illinois Fire Services Association (IFSA) and work is being done to make that happen.  The committee structure will include Co-chairs, Chief Ralph Webster (Woodstock) and Division Chief Al Schlick (Wauconda) and Secretary, Cynthia Leighton (Motorola).   

The main mission of the Task Force is to advance the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives and improve firefighter safety in Illinois.  The mission will need to be accomplished through phases, which will begin by getting the word out that the Task Force exists, and that we are working to improve firefighter safety.
