IAFC CRR Leadership Conference

2019

We had an amazing time at the IAFC CRR leadership conference in Reno this month. Thanks to the IAFC staff for hosting such a great event! It was great to see some of our customers and friends and to collaborate and learn together. I was privileged to have the US Fire Administrator, Chief Keith Bryant sit in on my class. Afterward, I appreciated having the opportunity to sit and talk with him to better understand his role and his leadership. It was especially great to bring my daughter along with me on this trip. She was greeted with open arms by all of those in attendance and I am very grateful for your hospitality.

Thank you, Brent Faulkner MAM, FO, CEO Virtual CRR Inc.
