“Memorization from textbooks, oral interviews and assessment exercises are no longer sufficient

to prepare chief officers to manage in today’s environment. Today’s chief officers deal with urban

planning and development, labor law, contract negotiations and compliance, state and federal

grant applications, the administration of fire departments in a shrinking and changing economy,

and many other issues. With your leadership, faculty and staff at Bowling Green State University,

I believe a bachelor’s degree in Fire Administration is the direction fire department administrators

must go. Thank you for developing a program of study that will better prepare candidates to

handle the challenges facing chief officers today.”
