Fire Service Mentoring Program
The FFCA is offering members an opportunity to select a fire service mentor for a variety of individual/professional needs. This is a component of the strategic plan of the FFCA and the Executive Leadership Development Section has agreed to lead this effort on the association’s behalf. FFCA members will find a short biography on each of the Florida fire professionals serving in the mentoring capacity with information about the programs that they are championing. This program is designed to assist members in selecting a mentor and build a strong and dependable network for all to utilize. This is just one more example of the FFCA meeting the needs and requests of the membership.
