2009 VCOS Survey Results
The economic climate of 2008 shifted the focus for many fire service leaders from growth to survival. In an attempt to assist our members with decision-making needs, the Volunteer and Combination Officers Section (VCOS) of the IAFC conducted a survey in mid-2009. Chief Shane Ray shared the results of the survey – for the first time - with attendees at the 2009 VCOS Symposium in the Sun.
Review the survey results here.
