SUMMARY:Roundtable Talk - Different Generations\, One Mission: Making It Work in the Firehouse
DESCRIPTION:Today’s fire service teams include everyone from fresh-faced recruits to seasoned veterans – and that’s a good thing. But with different generations come different communication styles\, work habits\, and expectations. So how do you make it all run smoothly? Join the NVFC for this interactive webinar to explore how to build stronger\, more cohesive crews by understanding and valuing the unique strengths each generation brings to the table. Whether you’re a new firefighter\, a long-time leader\, or somewhere in between\, you’ll walk away with practical tools to improve communication\, boost team morale\, and bridge generational gaps in the station and on the fireground. This down-to-earth conversation will include what it really takes to create a culture of respect\, learning\, and collaboration – no matter what year you joined the service or when you were born. \nPresenters: Walter Campbell\, Quentin Cash\, Pam Rogers\, and Joe Maruca (Moderator)
