Respect between colleagues is central to the success of any department, but bullying and harassment remain a prevalent issue in many stations. And while it's tempting to try and solve these issues informally, the truth is that leaders require specialized knowledge, training, and strategies to be effective in the long-term. Join us on Tuesday, August 13 for "Respect This House," a pre-conference session that will make you an expert on workplace dynamics, the psychology of bullying, and anti-bullying best practices. Adding this event to your resume is a great way to boost professional development goals and set yourself apart from your peers. Secure your tickets now:

The IAFC's International Outreach team has been working closely with our colleagues in Mexico at the TC Energy Gas Emergency Class. This class took place in Pachuca, Mexico, and is one of many joint initiatives the IAFC and TC Energy have collaborated on since 2013. This collaboration is just one example of our association's cross-nation work. Initiatives like this put the "International" in IAFC.
