November
6-8, the 2017 Learning Summit was
held in McClellan, Calif., at the USDA Forest Service McClellan Wildland Fire
Training and Conference Center. The purpose of the Summit was to engage in
robust discussions around lessons learned from the 2017 fire season and agree
to actions for 2018 which will improve the wildland fire system to more
reliably protect responders and the public,

The intent was to bring together a collective group of senior fire
leaders, the National Fire Leadership Council, the Risk Management Council and
participants from research, employee representation and other subject matter
expert specialists for the opportunity of increasing connectivity and better understanding
of lessons learned.
Several
members of the National Incident Management Organization (NIMO) and the
National Accelerated Training Program (NATP) were tapped to assist with the
meeting to ensure its success. They helped with logistics, acted as
facilitators, set up a small group discussion process called World Café, and captured notes which
were eventually turned into the attached Summit Overview.

The
desired outcomes of the Summit included bringing energy and alignment around
areas of agreement and areas of opportunity for improvement. In addition, a
direct and purposeful intent to action for 2018 would be developed around key
issues influencing or affecting individual and agency mission success.
