Second annual Emergency Services Conference coming to Adams-Friendship

April 1, 2024

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Mid-State Technical College is partnering with the Adams County Officers Association to host the second annual Emergency Services Conference, set for April 13. 

All those who work in emergency services are invited to attend the day-long event, which will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Adams-Friendship Fine Arts Center, with check-in starting at 7:15 a.m. 

The event, including lunch, is free to emergency services personnel and their significant others due to funding provided by Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative, Adams County Health and Human Services, Gundersen Moundview Hospital and Clinics, LifeLink III, Sand Valley Golf Resort and the Town of Rome Fire Department Fund.

“Last year’s event was well attended, and I hope it continues to grow in a positive direction,” Sam Wollin, City of Adams police chief, said. 

Wollin said the conference focuses on topics relevant to the area – including leadership building, pride in ownership, livestock emergency rescue and mass casualty. 

The conference will also feature a keynote address from Chris Prochut on mental health and question, persuade and refer (QPR) for agency personnel.

Registration for the Emergency Services Conference is required by Friday, April 5.
