    BUSINESS FOCUS

    The twenty-two Leadership Irving-Las

    Colinas Class of 2012 participants focusedon Public Safety and Emergency

    Preparedness on November 4th. The class

    began the day with a visit to the Irving

    Criminal Justice Center, where they toured

    the jail, visited the 911 call center and spent

    time with Asst. Police Chief Terry Zettle.

    The class had the opportunity to learn about

    the police academy and sign up for a police

    ride-a-long. The second half of the day

    was spent at the Esters Training Facility,

    where the class received a tactical teampresentation from Lt. Michael Coleman and toured the Homeland Security Mobil Command Vehicle with Leadership Irving-Las

    Colinas alumnus Jason Carriere.

    The class then enjoyed a lunch donated by DeVry University while they listened to a Fire Department presentation by

    Asst. Fire Chief Victor Conley. Several members of the Irving Fire Department, including Captain Glover McMillan, spent the

    afternoon with the class as they put on fire department uniforms, rode on fire trucks and ambulances, sprayed the fire hose, took

    apart a car using the jaws of life, and travelled sky-high in the fire department bucket.

    The class, which represents numerous local private, public, and non-profit organizations, will meet the first Friday each

    month through April and will focus on a different area of Irving-Las Colinas at each meeting. In December, the class will focus on

    Leadership Development. The mission of Leadership Irving-Las Colinas is to identify, educate, and develop future leaders and to

    motivate these leaders for civic, charitable, and community involvement. If you are interested or want to recommend a local

    business or community leader for the Class of 2013, please email Joy Goodrum at [email protected].
