Good morning all,I hope this email finds all of you well and enjoying a bit of a summer break.As some of you may know, I have been in contact with an organization called Career Catalyst, created by the Foundation of Ca Community Colleges. This organization acts as an employer of record for paid internships and apprenticeships, partnering with governmental agencies, municipalities, workforce boards and colleges, to name a few. Career Catalyst could assist us in turning volunteer positions into paid work experience.I am working on the possibility of having them make a presentation on how they could assist with public safety students. They have asked if I can provide some job descriptions for the positions these interns, apprentices and pre-apprentices would hold within the public safety organizations. You are some of my best resources, and thought you might be able to assist in gathering an assortment of job descriptions for their review.Thank you in advance for any you could provide.LindaLinda Vaughn, M.Ed.

Senate Bill 345 – State Fire Training Accessibility Act
Press Conference – Attendance requested to support!
Hi Everyone, hope you’re doing well today!
I am working with our district office team and local electeds to confirm everything for our press conference. At this point, the logistics we have confirmed are:
· WHAT: Press Conference announcing the legislative rollout of Senate Bill 345, the State Fire Training Accessibility Act
· DATE: Friday, April 4, 2025, 11am to 12pm
· LOCATION: Station 3 in Hanford, located at 1070 S 12th Ave, Hanford, CA 93230
· WHO: Senator Melissa Hurtado (confirmed), Kings County Supervisor Robert Thayer (trying to lock in for delivering remarks), Hanford Councilmember Mark Kairis (trying to lock in for delivering remarks), Lemoore Volunteer Firefighters (trying to lock in someone to deliver remarks, underscoring the need for the bill across the firefighting sector), Fire Chiefs from across California attending and wanting to delivering remarks
I will formalize the run of show as I sort out the media advisory for this to send to the local media outlets, but it would go something like:
· 10:30-10:45 am: Event participants arrive, set up for their respective roles, pre-event conversations, handshakes, and pictures
· 11:00-11:05 am: Event kicks offs with first speaker, Supervisor Robinson, welcoming everyone to Kings County
· 11:05-11:10 am: Next speaker, Councilmember Mark Kairis, welcomes everyone to the City of Hanford
· 11:10-11:15 am: Volunteer firefighter speaks regarding the need for the bill, and how affordable fire training is good for public safety
· 11:15-11:30 am: Various Fire Chiefs from across the Central Valley, or whoever is in attendance, deliver remarks supporting the bill
· 11:35-ish am: Senator Hurtado delivers closing remarks highlighting her past work supporting the firefighting community, public safety, discussing the need for the bill, and generally expressing legislative optimism
· 11:45-ish am: Procession of speakers ends, we ask if there are any questions from audience attendees (there will likely not be any), then event concludes
I will put this down in a more finalized attachment to send out again here soon.
That’s all I have for now. I am checking in with the City of Hanford’s Chief Information Officer to give them a heads up on what we are planning here, and for them to share with the public in Hanford.
Thanks Everyone, and please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can be helpful on here.
Very respectfully,
Chris
