For over a year, FASNY has been conducting an aggressive recruitment and retention campaign. The next component of this effort is an innovative training program called “Train the Recruiter”. This program is designed to provide local departments with the skills and resources necessary to conduct effective outreach activities.
I would like to personally invite you to attend the upcoming “Train the Recruiter” session in your area.

This internet based calendar will also provide you the opportunity to secure a seat at the session.
Please feel free to share this information with others in the volunteer fire service. By working together we can implement effective and long-term solutions to our common recruitment and retention challenges. Should you have any questions, please contact me or your regional Assistant Volunteer Programs Coordinator listed at the website shown above.
