The 911der Women Workshops

Quarterly series of live virtual trainings given by industry experts designed to instill lasting learning for the current and next generation of leaders in the 911 industry.

Thank you to our partner Priority Dispatch for making these workshops possible!

Workshop Details

Our half-day workshops tackle relevant topics that women in 911 face today. Workshops provide the participants tactical instruction to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities and advance their skills and careers. Each workshop’s content is built on four pillars of training topics: leadership in 911, career development, skills for the 911 center, and mental health. Sessions will be live and interactive, but also recorded and available for play-back.

Each workshop is $35 and certificates of completion will be available.
