As a young professional, my involvement with APCO International has continued to help catapult my career to the next level. From volunteering for committees and taskforces to attending the conference each year, APCO has truly helped grow and develop the skills I need to be a successful public safety communications professional.

My participation on the Young Professionals Taskforce has been energizing. It is rewarding to see so many young professionals passionate about their careers and excited about the future of our industry.

I encourage my fellow young professionals to get involved by volunteering and develop relationships by networking with others during the conference. Getting involved with APCO will not only help you grow in your current position, it will help cultivate your leadership skills to prepare you for future opportunities.
