I come from an industry that is predominantly powered by #women However, even today, most industries are dominated by men. In 2022, #data collected from the International Labour Organization concluded that, out of 180 countries - the #unitedstates ranks number 71 for % of women in the workforce. The percentage of women in the #workforce in the U.S is 46.38% Women remain #underrepresented at all levels, in most industries. However, know that when you call 9-1-1 it’s likely that the #hero under the headset is a #strong , #brave , #courageous #female According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report in 2021 - 74% if 911 operators are women. “People need to see leaders who look like themselves, to understand that it’s possible for them.” Happy #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #womenchangemakers #genderequality #911dispatch #911dispatcher #dispatchers #publicsafety #publicsector #everydayheroes

It is not possible for me to put into words my gratitude for the learning opportunities afforded to me (and the field) by Dr. Ala'i-Rosales. So in the absence of the right words, here are some of hers from a chapter and book we should all be more familiar with. "Brief didactic instructions are not enough to change anything except possibly verbal behavior. We learn by doing. Verbal behavior is indeed an important skill, but actual teaching performances are required to change the behaviors that will make meaningful, measurable differences in the lives of the people our trainees are instructing." (Ala'i-Rosales et al., 2003, p. 161) Ala’i-Rosales, S., Thorisdottir, S., & Etzel, B. C. (2003). Behavioral teacher training programs. In K. S. Budd & T. Stokes (Eds.), A small matter of proof: the legacy of Donald M. Baer (pp. 151–165). Reno, NV: Context Press.
