NASHUA, NH – velocityHUB has partnered with fire rescue departments across the State of New Hampshire to develop and launch a Fire Rescue Leadership Academy, FRLA.

FRLA will kick-off on September 15th with six leadership training sessions throughout the remainder of 2016. Fire Rescue leaders from four departments across southern New Hampshire will come together at Velocity Headquarters to develop their leadership, management, executive and communication skills. The exercise-driven and action-oriented program will encourage constructive collaboration and business leadership development for our community’s leaders.

Brendan P. Keegan, Managing Partner at velocityHUB said: “We are sincerely excited for the opportunity to work with some of the finest fire rescue leaders across the State of New Hampshire and bring a business approach to leading, managing and coaching individuals. Today’s fire rescue professionals face an array of challenges in an ever-complex world. Partnering together, we are focused on building leadership across the fire rescue community.”

Brian D. Rhodes, Nashua Assistant Fire Chief said: “When presented with this opportunity the question for Nashua Fire Rescue (NFR) was not if we would participate, but rather when can we start? Continuing education and professional development of this type speaks directly to our organizational vision to be the premier emergency services provider in our region that is constantly striving for excellence in service delivery through education, innovation, teamwork, and collaboration.”
