Developing the next generation of fire marshals doesn't happen by chance—it requires intentional mentorship, measurable progress, and structured development. This workshop will discuss how task books can serve as a powerful tool for succession planning, professional growth, and organizational continuity. Attendees will learn how to design, implement, and evaluate task books that align with local expectations, national standards, and real-world job performance. Topics include setting clear objectives, assigning qualified evaluators, tracking competency, and ensuring accountability throughout the process. Whether you're building a new program or refining an existing one, this workshop will help you document the journey and prepare future fire marshal leaders with confidence and clarity.
