DATES TO BE CONFIRMED SOON
The popular VFBV Open Forums will be back soon, giving volunteers the chance to talk shop and raise questions and issues in discussion sessions with senior CFA and VFBV decision makers.
With the great success of last year’s Regional Forums in Gippsland and the North West, VFBV will again be hosting Regional forums as well as the traditional central one.
Dates are still being finalised but local planning is well advanced around an Open Forum in the North East early in October, one in the South West in mid to late October, and one for the Central districts towards the end of November.
Stay tuned for details here and in the next edition of ‘The Fireman.’
See the picture on this page, for VFBV CEO Andrew Ford, VFBV President Hans van Hamond AFSM and CFA Chief Officer Euan Ferguson, responding to volunteers' questions and discussing their ideas at the Tawonga Forum in District 24.
