Now accepting: Leadership Institute applications

June 29, 2023

As a South Carolina firefighter, it is important to stay updated on the latest developments in the fire service industry. Leadership Institute is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in your department and community.

• LI covers a wide range of topics related to the fire service and exposes you to the issues facing departments of all sizes.
• You will have the opportunity to interact with other firefighters from across the state, sharing best practices and learning from each other's experiences.
• The program is tailored specifically for South Carolina firefighters, taking into account the unique challenges and opportunities faced in the state.
• By participating in LI, you will not only enhance your own skills and knowledge, but also contribute to the overall improvement of the fire service industry in South Carolina.

The ideal Leadership Institute participant is a person who has a strong desire for honing their individual leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities beyond typical management skill training and has exhibited prior leadership skills in local or state efforts. Participants will not be judged on the criteria of rank or pay status but instead on their potential to impact future leadership for the Firefighters’ Association and South Carolina fire service.

Applications are due August 31.
