Cyberattacks on city government computer networks continue to rise, disrupting operations, jeopardizing

Active Shooter Training
Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) has become the national standard for active
shooter training across the United States. The curriculum and learning material was created as a partnership
between Texas State University and federal law enforcement agencies.
The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course is a 3-hour seminar designed and built on the Avoid,
Deny, and Defend strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004. CRASE provides strategies, guidance and a proven plan
for surviving an active shooter event. The FBI considers ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response
Training) the national standard for active shooter events. CRASE is a lecture-based course geared towards civilians
and coincides with ALERRT material. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, the role
of professional guardians, civilian response options, medical issues, and drills.
The Active Shooter course is designed to equip attendees with skills and techniques to use before, during and
after active shooter events in the workplace. Instructors for CRASE are certified nationally to share this
information. This specific course is taught by the Gainesville, Georgia Police Department and has been offered to
area citizens and businesses.

the Patrol Division, in Community Policing for Government Housing and as a Domestic Violence Investigator. He

Athenian Leadership Society Training
Thursday, February 21; 9:15 am – 4:15 pm
The Athenian Leadership Society Training sells out quickly during each IIMC Conference. Attendance is limited
to 30 participants. We are pleased to bring this training program to the IIMC Region III Conference. Make sure
that you register early to get your seat.
What is an Athenian Dialogue?
Dialogues are conversations that go beyond the usual knowledge recall and application process familiar to all
municipal clerks in training seminars. They are unique because they explore leadership principles and practice,
drawing on the insights contained in a book that all participants have read.
The premise of the Athenian Dialogue Society is that clerks are leaders in very profound yet subtle ways.
Participants devote a full day (6 hours) to a Dialogue and come away intellectually enriched by this
communication experience.
Pre-Event Reading: “Eat Mor Chikin- Inspire More People Doing Business the Chick-fil-A Way”. Participants are
responsible for purchasing and reading the book prior to the conference.
Eat Mor Chikin – Inspire More People Doing Business the Chick-fil-A Way
provides an outline of the journey of Chick-fil-A Founder S. Truett Cathy and
the trials and tribulations of life that led him to achieve success while making
a difference in the lives of his employees and customers. Growing up during
the Great Depression and living in the nation’s first government subsidized
housing project, Truett learned the principles of hard work, fairness, honesty,
loyalty, and respect which led him to create a fast food motif in 1967, selling
the first boneless breast chicken sandwich and being the first fast-food
restaurant to operate in a shopping mall.
Eat Mor Chikin stresses the value of people and principles, gaining loyalty and
trust in your employees, and making a difference through actions and
commitment – all of which are important lessons for the role of a municipal
clerk. The principles shared by Truett Cathy and the lessons expressed by the testimonials in the book
provide important examples of how municipal clerks can play a role in improving the relationship of trust
and teamwork between local government and its citizens.
Eat Mor Chikin is available through Amazon. Support the IIMC Foundation by selecting I I M C Foundation
when you click on smile.amazon.com. Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to IIMC
Foundation to support continuing education for municipal clerks.
This Dialogue has been preapproved for three (3) IIMC CMC or MMC education points with the
satisfactory, timely completion of a learning assessment. It is also approved for six (6) CEU credits in
Georgia.
