Susan Knick, director of conferences and scheduling, and Ruth Lovelace, director of emergency management and safety, were invited to speak at the July 16 Crowd Manager Symposium hosted by the Virginia State Fire Marshal’s Office.  Attended by Virginia state fire marshals, other universities and colleges, and members of the private sector, the symposium was an interactive forum for discussion and learning of the best practices in implementing the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code’s requirements for crowd management.  Knick and Lovelace spoke on UMW’s program, its objectives, training tips, and the do’s and don’ts that came with implementing the program.
