The Council’s mission is to achieve levels of diversity that more closely reflect the racial and gender make-up of served communities.

• Programs that more effectively target quality candidates.
• Preparation tools that increase testing success rates.
• Extending the pool of diverse candidates through the National Recruit Database.

Council membership is open to all public fire agencies.  Note: All Council members are required to have a website.
