[Iesaf_selkirk] IAWF Safety Summit

[lynn kaney]

Chris & Art:

I'm sure by now that you're starting to hear about the 11th IAWF Wildland Fire Safety Summit that will be held in Missoula on April 4-8, 2011. We have Gordon Graham (the "Six Minutes for Safety" guy) as our Keynote, and are scheduling pre-Conference classes and post-Conference tours of the Missoula Fire Lab, MTDC, the Missoula SJ Base and lots of other interesting area sites. All of the details are on the web at www.iawfonline.org/missoula2011<http://www.iawfonline.org/missoula2011>

We'd love to again have the SAF Fire Working Group involved as our partners, and maybe even have your Working Group have a side meeting in conjunction with the Safety Summit; we'll have rooms available for you if needed.

I've already been in contact with Pat Cillay at SAF to get us started on the path to get CFE credits for the Safety Summit, so there will be extra benefit to those attending.

Let me know if you have any questions: I'll be the IC again this time, and have a great ICS staff doing the real work, so we can hopefully meet all of your needs.

Looking forward to seeing you in Missoula in April,
