Potter County Today
An addition to the Leadership Potter County (LPC)
curriculum focusing on emergency responders and public safety was a success. LPC
alumnus Will Hunt, who also serves as Potter County planning director, organized
a First Responder Day. He laid the groundwork for class members to travel to
multiple sites for demonstrations and an opportunity to meet informally with
responders. Personnel from the Pa. State Police, Coudersport Volunteer Fire
Dept., Coudersport Ambulance and Advanced Life Support, Mercy Flight and
Coudersport Borough police responded to the LPC planning team’s invitation to
participate.
“Students learned about basic safety measures as
well as potential career and volunteer opportunities, and they gained a deeper
appreciation for some of the people who selflessly serve the community,” Hunt
said. “The committee hopes to have participation from some of the county’s other
emergency responders for the 2019 program.” Leadership Potter County supports
the development of future leaders with a focus on developing leadership
potential and a greater awareness of local assets, opportunities and issues.
