This month, we’re excited to recognize the City of Surprise Fire & Medical Department for their commitment to inclusive hiring! Their dedication to community service and creating opportunities for all truly burns bright as an example of community inclusivity. One of our incredible OSBI members, Chris, has been part of their team since 2017! The Surprise Fire & Medical Department even donated the motorized wheelchair that helps Chris stay active and succeed in his role—an inspiring example of community support! Each month, we spotlight a community partner who shares our vision for equal employment opportunities.
