Welcome to the Western Michigan Association of Fire Chief’s web page. This web page is in the 3rd year of existence. We continually make improvements based on visitor and members comments. Keeping this site current and informative is just one Executive Board goal for 2010. It is my desire, as President, to see this site become a “favorite” stop for all of your fire department informational needs.
Our Mission Statement: To Provide Vision, Education and Leadership for the Fire Service in Western Michigan is the backbone of our organization.
During our Executive Board strategic planning workshop, we pledged again to provide “worthwhile and current” educational opportunities during our general membership meetings. In these tough economic times, we all have to make a dollar stretch as far as we can. If a member is going to take their valuable time to attend our membership meeting, we must ensure they will receive pertinent, usable information.
Without the support of our sustaining members, we would not be able to do many of the things we do as an organization. On behalf of the Executive Board, and entire membership, I would like to say Thank You! Each one of our sustaining members is listed on our home page. Please visit their web pages and give them your support. If you are interested in becoming a sustaining member, to support this organization, please give any of the board members a call, or an email and we will be happy to help you through the process.
If you are not a current member of the WMAFC, and would like to find out more about this organization, please give any of the executive board members a call. We would be honored to give you the whole story. We do ask that you –
- Live in Western Michigan
- You are an active officer or supervisor in a Western Michigan Fire Department
In closing, please let us know of any issues you may have trying to navigate the site. We welcome any ideas or suggestions that will improve our site and make it a more valuable tool for our visitors.
Yours in the fire service,
Russell L. Jansen
