Bobby Halton to Speak During Conference Luncheon

Traditionally, the ITA conference committee has invited a guest speaker to join us for our annual luncheon. This year’s guest will be Chief Bobby Halton. The luncheon will be held Tuesday, September 25, during our annual educational conference.

Chief Bobby Halton, ret. is the editor in chief of Fire Engineering magazine and education director of the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) since 2005. Chief Halton is a native New Yorker whose family has deep roots in the fire service. He began his career in structural firefighting with the Albuquerque (NM) Fire Department and rose through the ranks to include chief of training. Bobby was chief of operations until his retirement from Albuquerque in 2004. He then became chief of the Coppell (TX) Fire Department, Bobby left Coppell to assume the duties as editor in chief of Fire Engineering Magazine.

The Chief’s resume’ continues on and is quite impressive - but even more impressive is his ability to connect with his audience to inspire them in their daily lives. Bobby is a moving, energetic, motivational speaker who not only understands fire service, but understands the importance of public servants. You won’t want to miss this!
