    From the Executive Chair Friday: “You can do anything, but not everything.” As leaders, it’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to take on too much—feeling like every decision, every task, and every responsibility needs your direct hand. But true leadership isn’t about doing it all; it’s about empowering your team, prioritizing effectively, and trusting others to rise to the challenge. Remember, great leadership isn’t about being everywhere at once—it’s about showing up where it counts the most. Let’s start this weekend with intention and focus! #TheHealthyDispatcher #LeadershipMatters #FromTheExecutiveChair

  • We love to look back on past years, here is an impactful video testimonial from last year; 'I was able to set up a time for training officers to come together, and we met, and we have all been learning different things from each other... to make the community of 9-1-1 better as a whole. You can be the difference in just one person’s life. If you get the chance, fight for your chance to come here.' – Sabrina, Hedgeson, KS ✨ We are so grateful to the incredible attendees and vendors—past, present, and future—who make the Be The Difference Conference a reality.

  • 🌟 Grateful for Attendees Like Angie! 🌟 We are so thankful for incredible 9-1-1 professionals like Angie from Scott County 9-1-1, MO, who bring years of experience and wisdom to the Be The Difference Conference. Here's what she had to say about her time at BTD: "My favorite part would be the networking. It's amazing to get to be with people who go through what we go through and may have a different outlook on it. You walk away with so much more than the ideas you had coming in. It’s important to come to events like this because it helps you grow your bench." Angie’s words remind us why BTD exists, to provide a space for learning, connection, and growth for the dedicated individuals in the 9-1-1 profession. Thank you, Angie, for being part of this community and inspiring others with your passion and commitment! 📅 Join us for BTD 2025 and experience it for yourself! 🖱️ Register here: https://lnkd.in/eJ6AdAe5
