On September 26, 2022 Chief Jon Goldman was presenting at Indiana APCO, when his staff notified him of a medical crisis at home. He was 1,000 miles from his office, and his best friend and Deputy Chief suffered a debilitating medical emergency rendering him unable to work. Sedated, and intubated with a poor prognosis for life, let alone a full return to duty. How does an organization continue when a key employee is suddenly, with no warning, unable to work and may die coupled with the head of the organization being physically and mentally unable to lead. With humor and perspective attendees will be better prepared to manage crises within their organization, and hear about lessons learned so this doesn't happen to them.
