Riley Phillips, 2nd Lt:
Over the past 12 months, I have been working to further develop my leadership skills within the CFA by completing a Certificate IV in Leadership and Management through the CFA's Volunteer Leadership Development (VLD) Program.
I was fortunate to undertake this nationally accredited qualification, which is designed to build and strengthen leadership and management capabilities while supporting the sustainability and success of our brigades and volunteers.
Throughout the course, I gained valuable knowledge and practical skills in leadership, communication, team development, and effective management, all of which I look forward to applying within the CFA and beyond.
I would like to sincerely thank the Kawarren Fire Brigade, the CFA and everyone who supported and encouraged me throughout this journey. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue growing as a leader and contributing back to our brigade and community.
