Excerpts from MABAS-IL:
Subject: MABAS – Illinois Leadership Change – Transition UpdateFor some time, MABAS CEO Jay Reardon and the MABAS-Illinois leadership have been working on a structured transition plan in preparation for his retirement. As a result, effective June 30, 2017, Chief Reardon will step down as CEO of MABAS-Illinois. In his place, Chief Glenn Ericksen, who has served as the MABAS Administrative and Finance Section Chief, will take over as Chief Executive Officer. Starting July 1, 2017, Reardon will transition into an advisory role with the Leadership Team and Executive Board, continuing until December 31, 2017.
Chief Ericksen retired three years prior to this change after serving as the fire chief for the Village of Arlington Heights for 40 years. After retiring, 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 in 1999 while serving as the fire chief for the Northbrook Fire Department. During his tenure, MABAS was invited to become a member of the Illinois Terrorism Task Force, where it played a key role as the fire services operational and mutual aid advisor for fire, EMS, and special operations teams.
In January 2001, MABAS-Illinois signed a historic intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, allowing its resources to be mobilized under the governor’s direction during disasters. This was a major milestone that helped shape the future of emergency response in the state.
The events of September 11, 2001, marked a turning point for MABAS-Illinois. Under Reardon's leadership, the organization adapted quickly and expanded its mission to support broader community needs. He guided the development of a robust statewide mutual aid system, which became one of the most respected in the country.
In August 2005, MABAS-Illinois responded to an EMAC request following Hurricane Katrina, providing critical support to New Orleans and 11 parishes in Louisiana. Over six weeks, more than 900 firefighters and 250 vehicles were deployed. The organization continued to assist Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in later years.
In 2008, Reardon retired from the Northbrook Fire Department and took on the role of MABAS-Illinois’ first full-time CEO. Since 1999, MABAS has grown to include over 1,180 member fire agencies and 95 special operations teams across the state. Additional achievements include managing over $135 million in federal grants and overseeing the 74,000-square-foot MABAS Readiness Center, which serves as the headquarters for all statewide operations.
