From the Chief’s Corner: Are You at the Table?
By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director Posted on December 22, 2022
As we approach the holiday season, a phrase often attributed to the title of a 1936 animated film “Christmas Comes but Once a Year” came to mind, along with an important annual event related to emergency responder communications enhancement systems (ERCES). The phrase was used in a poem from the 16th century English poet and farmer Thomas Tusser from Essex. The line from the poem is “At Christmas play and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year”.

From the Chief’s Corner: Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk…America’s Safe Schools Week Proclamation
By Chief Alan Perdue (ret.), SBC Executive Director Posted on November 3, 2022
For most of us, school safety is ever present on our minds with so many of the headlines we see through various news outlets. So, when I became aware of the fact that October 16-22 was “America’s Safe Schools Week” I began reflecting on the Phrase “Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk”. In fact, I have a book titled Walk the Talk written by best-selling authors Eric Harvey and Steve Ventura that has been part of my leadership collection for many years. Although “Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk is a common English phrase, the concept of actually doing it can be challenging. Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk requires us to live the values we have identified within our life such as the Golden Rule that many of our parents taught us growing up. Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk is more than just a catchy phrase, it is a value statement that means we should support what we say, not just with words, but also through our actions regardless of any activity we are involved in at a given moment be it faith, family, work, community involvement, sports, etc. In all situations we have a responsibility to “Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk”.
