Excerpts from MABAS-IL:
Subject: MABAS – Illinois Leadership Change – Transition UpdateIn a significant leadership transition, MABAS CEO Jay Reardon and the MABAS-Illinois leadership team have been working on a structured plan for his retirement. Effective June 30, 2017, Chief Reardon will step down as CEO of MABAS-Illinois. In his place, Glenn Ericksen, who has served as the MABAS Administrative and Finance Section Chief, will take over as the new Chief Executive Officer. Starting July 1, 2017, Reardon will transition into an advisory role with the Leadership Team and Executive Board, continuing in that capacity until December 31, 2017.
Chief Ericksen brings a wealth of experience to the role. He retired three years prior as the fire chief of the Village of Arlington Heights after a long career spanning four decades with the department. Following his retirement, he joined MABAS in his current role as Section Chief. His appointment as CEO was unanimously supported by the MABAS Leadership Team.
Chief Reardon first joined MABAS-Illinois as its President in 1999 while serving as the fire chief for the Northbrook Fire Department. His leadership led to MABAS being invited to join the Illinois Terrorism Task Force as the fire services operational and mutual aid advisor. On January 16, 2001, MABAS-Illinois and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency signed the first intergovernmental agreement, allowing MABAS resources to be deployed under the governor’s direction during disasters.
The events of September 11, 2001, marked a turning point for MABAS-Illinois. Under Reardon's guidance, the organization expanded its service scope and developed one of the nation’s most respected mutual aid systems. In August 2005, MABAS was called upon through EMAC to support Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, deploying over 900 firefighters and 250 vehicles across 11 parishes. The team remained in the field for six weeks, providing critical assistance. Later, MABAS-Illinois also supported Louisiana during Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
In 2008, Reardon retired from the Northbrook Fire Department and became the first full-time CEO of MABAS-Illinois. Since 1999, MABAS has grown to include more than 1,180 member fire agencies and 95 statewide special operations teams. Additional achievements include managing over $135 million in federal grants and owning the 74,000-square-foot MABAS Readiness Center, which serves as the headquarters for all statewide operations.
