Staff member 1, Staff member, said the agency's purpose is to change how industries approach safety, and called for a culture shift. “At our core, what our purpose is is to think about how do we shift those industries to realize that the business they do, they have to think differently around safety to develop that culture,” Staff member 1 said.
Staff member 2, Staff member, urged broad cooperation to manage public lands. “The only way that we're going to succeed at managing our public lands is to do it as a group, and we've got to work with all of the possible partners out there. I think partnerships are key,” Staff member 2 said.
Staff member 1 returned to workforce development and training, linking employee development to public safety in California. “The amount of creativity that happens in sort of in person settings, I think is really, really wonderful to see. Whatever the thing is that will help you grow your own skill set and create opportunities for you in the organization, I want to invest in that.
