10th Annual Garrett W. Loomis Fire Safety Seminar to be held at JCC on April 8

On Saturday, April 8, 2023 the Jefferson Community College Fire Protection Technology program will host the 10th Annual Garrett W. Loomis Fire Safety Seminar in Sturtz Theater. The keynote speaker is Dr. David Griffin. The topic of his presentation is stress management for the emergency responder. Admission is free.

Emergency responders, their family members and members of their support systems, are welcome to attend. The seminar is free made possible by a grant from the Garrett W. Loomis Foundation and the Northern New York Community Foundation. 

Dr. Griffin states, “Every morning we wake up, we have a choice. We can choose to be average, or we can choose to be great in everything that we do. Excellence is not an accident. It is a habit. If we practice excellence continuously, it becomes a staple in all parts of our lives, personally and professionally. All of this starts with our first step out of bed in the morning. If we rise ready to complain and carry around a negative attitude to our organization, learning will become difficult, with this attitude permeates to others. Research indicates that this presents a significant snowball effect. Once this snowball gets rolling, it turns into an avalanche extremely quickly, affecting the rest of the workforce. To combat this effect, organizations must develop into dynamic learning organizations where inspiration and learning are staples of their daily activities.”

Walk-ins are welcome, but pre-registration is highly recommended. Online registration.
