SUMMARY:Webinar - Smarter\, Not Harder: Using AI to Support Volunteer Responder Recruitment & Retention
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a practical and accessible tool for volunteer fire and EMS departments without being complicated\, expensive\, or replacing the people at the heart of the fire service. This NVFC webinar presented by Daniel Chapek will explore how volunteer departments can use simple\, easy-to-adopt AI tools to support recruitment\, retention\, and member engagement. Designed for all experience levels\, the session focuses on real-world applications rather than technical jargon\, including creating recruitment and outreach materials\, reaching diverse audiences\, organizing and analyzing existing data\, supporting grant writing\, and assisting with training and onboarding efforts. Participants will gain a clear understanding of what AI is – and what it is not – and leave with practical ideas they can apply immediately\, regardless of department size or budget. \nPresenter: Daniel Chapek
