About this Position

The International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) Administration Office, an extension unit of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) at Oklahoma State University (OSU) is seeking applications for an Outreach Program Coordinator. IFSAC is a peer-driven accreditation system for fire service certifying entities and fire-related postsecondary degree programs. IFSAC has a growing membership base that includes more than 80 fire service certifying entities and more than 40 fire-related collegiate institutional programs, located throughout the United States, Canada, and other countries in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Africa. More than three million IFSAC seals for certification have been issued to fire service personnel worldwide.

This position coordinates assigned business, financial, event, governance, member-relations, and organizational functions for the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and its administration office, an extension unit of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) at Oklahoma State University (OSU).
