Saying goodbye is difficult! Starting a new chapter in your life is exciting!
I will be saying goodbye to all of you as the Executive Director of the Washington Fire Chiefs on December 31, 2013. It was 9 years ago that I started this adventure to help your elected officers Serve, Educate and Lead this great association. I am also excited to pass the responsibility to Chief Wayne Senter who will begin on January 1, 2014 for a seamless transition. The WFC deserves your support and participation and when we are united the fire service is an incredible force. Do not miss an opportunity to be part of building the future of the fire service. The most difficult goodbye will be to Kathleen and Lori who bring joy to me on a daily basis. They love you and the WFC and work tirelessly to ensure goals are achieved. They are the best and they aren't going anywhere!
Elaine and I are moving to Wenatchee to start the new adventure, to be closer to family and make this our home base for many travel adventures. We want to stay in touch with all of you and encourage you to visit us whenever your travels allow. I will be keeping my cell phone number 360-509-9990 so there is no excuse not to call. My personal email address will be mikeb3473@gmail.com so you can update your contact information. The WFC is in good hands!
Be safe and may all your days be merry and bright!
Mike Brown
