Mercer Island Fire Chief Chris Tubbs was recently accepted into the Executive Leadership Program at the Naval Post Graduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security.
The extremely competitive nine-month program requires a week of onsite attendance each quarter, with costs covered by the Department of Homeland Security.
The program works to strengthen overall national security by providing hand-picked executive level graduates with a better understanding of current and future homeland security issues, public policy debates and terrorist threats. The information learned will be brought back and shared with the local community.
