Wisconsin Society of 

Emergency Services Instructors

By arrangement with PennWell, publishers of Fire Engineering and sponsors of FDIC, and the North American Fire Training Directors, each state's Instructor of the Year will receive a complimentary pass to the Fire Department Instructors Conference in Indianapolis -- a $575 value! Our current recipient, Brad Schaefer of Slinger Fire Department, will represent Wisconsin at the 2019 event.

Our thanks go out to former Director Pete Silva of Wisconsin Fire Service Training for bringing this amazing opportunity to our Society, and to current Director Angie White for continuing it!

The Instructor of the Year Award recognizes individuals for extraordinary accomplishments in emergency services training. The winner:

• Will have displayed a deep commitment to furthering the cause of the fire and emergency services through training
  
• Will have advanced the cause of responder operational effectiveness and safety
• Will have gone above and beyond the call of duty in training
  
• Will have brought creativity and innovation to public safety training programs, or will have shown great persistence in pursuing an innovative program
  
• Will have served as a positive model for responders and other instructors
  

The award recognizes individual accomplishment. While members of an instructional team or training group may be considered, nominations of a fire department or training academy are not eligible.
