Excerpts from MABAS-IL:
Subject: MABAS – Illinois Leadership Change – Transition OverviewOver the past few months, MABAS CEO Jay Reardon and the MABAS-Illinois leadership team have been working on a well-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, 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, Chief Reardon will continue to support the organization as an advisor to the Leadership Team and Executive Board, with his advisory role lasting until December 31, 2017.
Chief Ericksen retired from the Village of Arlington Heights Fire Department after a long and distinguished career spanning nearly four decades. After retiring, he joined MABAS in his current role as Section Chief. His appointment as CEO was unanimously supported by the MABAS Leadership Team, reflecting confidence in his experience and leadership abilities.
Chief Reardon first joined MABAS-Illinois as its president in 1999 while serving as fire chief for the Northbrook Fire Department. During his tenure, MABAS became a key player in emergency response, including being invited to join the Illinois Terrorism Task Force as the fire services operational and mutual aid advisor for fire, EMS, and special operations teams. On January 16, 2001, MABAS-Illinois and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency signed the first-ever intergovernmental agreement, allowing MABAS’ local agency resources to be placed under the governor’s control as a mobile support team during disaster declarations.
The events of September 11, 2001, marked a turning point for MABAS-Illinois. Under Chief Reardon’s leadership, the organization adapted and expanded its services, establishing a robust statewide mutual aid system that became recognized nationally. In August 2005, MABAS was called upon through EMAC to provide critical support to New Orleans and 11 parishes in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. Over six weeks, more than 900 firefighters and 250 vehicles were deployed, demonstrating MABAS’ capacity and commitment. The organization later supported Louisiana again during Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
In 2008, Chief Reardon retired from the Northbrook Fire Department and was appointed as the first full-time CEO of MABAS-Illinois. Since 1999, MABAS has grown significantly, now representing over 1,180 member fire agencies and 95 statewide response-capable Special Operations Teams. Additional achievements include the coordination of over $135 million in federal grants and the ownership of the 74,000-square-foot MABAS Readiness Center, which serves as the headquarters for all statewide MABAS operations.
