Information is now being posted on the web site, due to many emails being blocked by spam filters or returned as undeliverable.

The 2008 Instructor College has been canceled by DFP. Critical Train-the-Trainer classes will be conducted within in each DFP Division as needed, scheduled by the respective DFP Division Chiefs.

We are currently seeking nominations for new officers for the 2008-2010 term; we'll take nominations until May 30. Please send nominations via email to any current executive officer for consideration. All nominations will be posted on the web site once submitted. Voting will take place during June, and the new officers installed on July 1st for the new term (President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer).
We will likely conduct a vote by way of email with current (2007-2008) VSFSI members only. Current officers are eligible to seek a second term as allowed by VSFSI Constitution and By-laws. If no names are submitted, current officers will be re-appointed to a second 2-year term. If only one name is submitted that person will be elected by default.

Nominations:

(as of 4/19)

Current Vice President Mike Glass (Salem Fire Dept, retired) has been nominated for President and has accepted the nomination.

We are seeking interested persons to run for the Fire Services Board Seat; Tommy Fuqua's term expires June 30. The term is for four years, with meetings six times per year at various locations throughout the Commonwealth. I will be submitting names to Governor Tim Kaine's Office for consideration. Nominees must be a current (2007-2008) VSFSI member, and also an instructor currently on staff at a Virginia Community College teaching Fire Science.
