Burning Down the Barriers

By: Amanda Coggin (View Profile)

“I’ve always done long-term planning and goal-setting, ‘Where do I see myself in five years? Where do I see myself in ten years?’ I need challenge, I need stimulation to keep growing. So now I freelance with corporations doing emergency training and continue to interview and look for that right match for a chief’s position.”

Captain Richards, you are an inspiration. Comforting a mother in crisis is an emergency in itself. I love that there are so many women at your conference with so many years of experience under their belts. If I or anybody I loved was in an emergency situation, I would want a woman like you on the scene. Thank you.
