                   With more than 28 years of experience, Mike Myers has earned a reputation as a progressive industry-leading

                   hired in June 2016 with a promise to run Portland Fire & Rescue like a business. He quickly went to work and
                   has his teams completing an ambitious three-year strategic plan that tackles goals such as zero fire deaths, zero
                   traffic fatalities, zero firefighter casualties, and zero neighbors neglected.

                   property tax laws of the state, as they apply to preparing a local government’s budget. The workshop assists
                   Directors in learning about the budgeting process, the importance of their roles as stewards of public funds,

                   be shared about how a community can participate in offering access and water supply incentives to developers
                   to get these life-saving systems installed in your community voluntarily.

               •   Board Member Duties & Responsibilities | Christy Monson, Local Government Law Group
                   Being an elected fire official carries many responsibilities under the statutes to carry out the public trust.
                   Those duties include adherence to public meeting laws, public records laws, parliamentary procedure—
                   to name a few. This segment is a must for newly elected officials and for those needing to brush up on

                   Wellness Program | Heather Goodrich & Alicia McVicker, Clackamas Fire
                   Whether your organization is starting from scratch or building upon an existing program, this presentation
                   will provide insight to the development of Clackamas Fire District #1’s successful program. Developing a
                   culture where employees are supported in their health and well-being from day one takes time, support,
                   initiative and a commitment from the Fire Chief down. Learn about how the program was built over the
                   past twenty years and how its successes, challenges and opportunities have shaped the program into what
                   it is today.
               •   Cyber Preparedness | David McMorries, State of Oregon & Ron Watters, Department of
                   Homeland Security
                   The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Advisor (CSA) Program offers cybersecurity
                   assistance on a voluntary, no-cost basis to critical infrastructure organizations, including state, local,
                   tribal, and territorial governments. Through the CSA Program, organizations can prepare for and protect
                   against cybersecurity threats to critical infrastructure. The goal of this session is to promote cybersecurity
                   preparedness by offering ideas, advice, and best practices for securing your district's most sensitive data.

                   direction regarding Oregon Government Ethics law located in Chapter 244 and explain how provisions
                   in ORS 244 may apply to duties performed as a “public official”. For more information about the Oregon

    1:30 pm    Group Session
               •   SDAO Presentation - "Youth in the Fire Service"
                   Involving youth in the fire service encourages our future leaders to consider a career in the fire and
                   emergency services field. Providing a youth program through your district can be rewarding and used
                   as a valuable recruitment tool. However, there are limitations your district needs to consider if you plan
                   to use this type of program. This presentation will review the potential pitfalls that your district may
                   not be aware of. We will discuss the current child labor laws, employment liability issues, and OSHA
                   interpretations related to youth who are actively involved with your district. We will discuss some of the
                   past and current litigation that has an impact on fire districts. We will provide you a best practice designed
                   to limit your exposure to the liability in involving youth with your fire district.

               •   Oregon Fire Service History | Ken Jones
                   As Legal Counsel to the Oregon Fire District Directors for over forty years, Ken Jones has left his mark on
                   Oregon’s statutes and has helped mold the fire service into what it has become. Having recently retired
                   from the practice of law, Ken is in a unique position to look back over his years with the fire service and
                   provide a candid recounting of the victories and challenges that put the fire service on the path we find
                   ourselves today.
    10:00 am   Group Session
               •   Active Shooter Threats: Are You Prepared? | Jamie Karn, Deputy Chief (Ret.) and Jason
                   McGowan, Battalion Chief, Clackamas Fire
                   This course will help you prepare and respond to active shooter situations. The presentation will include a
                   review of the Clackamas Town Center shooting by Clackamas Fire retired Deputy Chief, Jamie Karn, and the
                   Reynolds High School shooting by Gresham Fire and Emergency Services Battalion Chief, Jason McGowan.

                   Active shooter situations are now too common throughout the world. Schools, universities, churches,
                   malls, sporting events, concerts, hospitals and even nursing homes have all been targets. Preplanning and
                   training exercises, that include all local agencies that would respond to these events, is crucial. How you
                   prepare today will matter tomorrow!

                      On February 26, 2006, the fire service lost a valued and trusted servant with the passing of
                      Bruce Williams, member of the SDAO Legislative Committee and former OFDDA Board Member. He was 73.

                      In his memory, Bruce's family and OFDDA established the "W. Bruce Williams Scholarship Fund, Honoring
                      our Fire Service Volunteers in Rural Communities". The purpose of the Fund is to provide tuition and
                      expenses for fire district personnel in Oregon so that they may attend conferences and training.

                       "Bruce was very dedicated to the fire services and he knew how important every fire district was to its
                       community," said Bev Williams, Bruce's wife of 53 years. "He had the opportunity to travel the state of
     Bruce Williams
                       Oregon and meet with several volunteer departments. He knew these districts would benefit if they were
    able to attend conferences and training sessions, taking back to the departments current information and regulations.
    Working together in the state makes the fire districts stronger. Bruce would be very pleased to know that under the present
    guidelines, those districts can and will be represented as their needs arise. Firefighters are special people and this fund will
    be a lifelong vision that will be put into place to help those who desire to better their departments."

    Priority for the award shall include but not be limited to the following criteria:
    • Economic needs of the district.
    • District unable to attend previous conferences or training.
    • Commitment of the district to use the award.

    To be eligible, districts must have a total annual assessed valuation in the lower 25 percent of fire districts as determined by
    the Oregon Department of Revenue.
