Fire Service Leadership Enhancement Program 2025

The Fire Service Leadership Enhancement Program is designed for reflective practitioners. Instruction will be highly interactive, utilize realistic case studies, experiential exercises, and up-to-date readings and materials. Assignments will provide opportunities for reinforcement of learning and application back to your department.

Fire service leaders grow the most when provided a broad spectrum of perspectives from which to draw. Leadership is a skill that transcends and industry, allowing those without the technical expertise to provide greater understanding of leadership. While most will be from within the fire service, the program will utilize experts from both within and outside the fire service.

Participants who complete all three sessions and fulfill all of the requirements will be awarded a Certificate of Leadership Enhancement from the University of Missouri. Continuing Education Units will be available for interested participants.
