Company Officer of the Year Award
Sponsored by:
The Company Officer of the Year Award is presented by the IAFC’s Company Officers Section and is sponsored by U.S. Digital Designs by Honeywell. This award is designed to celebrate and empower members of the fire service who occupy mid-level leadership roles within their department. The award will recognize one company officer, either volunteer or career, for their leadership, innovation, professional development, integrity, public service, and contributions to the fire service. All of a nominee's fire service activities and accomplishments will be considered as a nominee's command role at a major emergency incident is not the sole contributing factor for the award.
About
