The Emergency Management team would like to extend congratulations to Sheridan’s very own Emergency Manager, Darby Pierson.
On September 27, Darby graduated from FEMA’s National Emergency Management Advanced Academy at the Emergency Management Institute in Emmitsburg, Maryland., after she completed the full curriculum that provides the strategic level training and education in the essential skills and tools for emergency management professionals to lead dynamic and resilient programs.
Darby has dedicated herself to the Risk Management Team and the Sheridan community over the past five years, and has demonstrated excellence in leadership in the face of change and challenges. She continuously advocates for the safety and preparedness of our community and firmly pushes the boundaries to keep pace with the constantly changing post secondary atmosphere.
Darby effortlessly completed the four resident courses with three short distance learning sessions in the Advanced Academy including: Application of Advanced Individual Concepts in Emergency Management, Assessment of Teams in Professional Emergency Management, Contemporary Issues in the Emergency Management Organization and Advanced Concepts and Policy in the Emergency Management Profession.
We are grateful for Darby’s commitment to the team and congratulate her for this achievement.
