Jeter-Hill completed the academy’s full curriculum which provides strategic training and education, and the essential skills needed for emergency management professionals to manage dynamic and resilient emergency management programs.

Graduates completed four one-week resident courses in the Advanced Academy, including: A Survey of Advanced Concepts in Emergency Management, Assessment and Application of Professional Style in Emergency Management, Advanced Concepts and Issues in the Emergency Management Organization, and Advanced Concepts and Issues in the Emergency Management Community and Profession.
