Year in Review UNITED LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The United Leadership Program launched in August 2019. The program is designed for fire service professionals who demonstrate a commitment to career advancement and enhancing the fire-EMS service through their leadership. The eightmonth program is open to 25 participants and features leaders from across the Atlanta metro.

Going beyond a traditional classroom experience, the United Leadership Program involves traveling to organizations located throughout the Atlanta-metro area, such as Wellstar, Truist and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, for monthly training sessions. On-site learning gives our participants the opportunity to speak directly with leaders of these organizations and see them in action. The leadership curriculum teaches skills that every person needs to master on the journey to becoming a highly respected leader. Building relationships, setting goals, thinking creatively and other soft skills are addressed during the program.
