Essential Trustee Training (ETT)
In addition to providing trustees with the information needed to meet the challenges of administering a fire district, the ETT Program is 3-part legal training that allows additional compensation for paid trustees who complete the program under Public Act 95-0799. Each part of the training is 4 hours in length. Trustees who have completed all three parts will be mailed a completion certificate signed by the OSFM.

Essential Trustee Training is scheduled to be presented at the Annual Conference. Watch your email and this page for registration information as it becomes available.
