Walton County Fire Chiefs Complete Leadership Program

Battalion Chiefs Christopher Brown and Travis Cook graduated from the Emergency Services Leadership Institute, a leadership development program sponsored by the Florida Fire Chiefs' Association and Florida Fire Chiefs' Foundation.

The institute trains mid-level and chief fire officers through six courses covering human resources, personal leadership, government relations, marketing, finance and budgeting, and emergency management. Participants complete the courses over two years in any sequence.

"Seeing Battalion Chiefs Cook and Brown push themselves through such a demanding program says a lot about who they are as leaders," said Assistant Fire Chief Jonathon Davis. "They're constantly looking for ways to grow and better serve this community."
