Please post the following message to the PSAP listserv ASAP on behalf of
Denise Torelli.

---------------------------

The Virginia Chapter of APCO invites nominations for the 2007 Public
Safety Telecommunicator Awards Program.  Awards will be presented to
communications personnel during the 2008 APCO/NENA Spring Conference in
Virginia Beach (Thursday, May 1, 2008 - Luncheon and Awards Ceremony).
As in the past, awards in the categories of Outstanding Individual
Performance in a Critical Incident, Outstanding Team Performance in a
Critical Incident, and Telecommunicator of the Year are offered.  This
year, three new award categories have been added:  Communications
Trainer of the Year, Line Supervisor of the Year, and Communications
Center Leader of the Year.

Each year, we receive many outstanding nominations in each category. The
program is successful because others take the time to nominate those
outstanding telecommunicators.  Please take the time this year to submit
a nomination for an individual or team you believe to be worthy.  We
hope you will also take the time to pass the word to others in the
public safety community in the Commonwealth of Virginia who may not be
members of APCO.

General Requirements:

* Nominees must have worked in a communications center in the
Commonwealth of Virginia or have retired within the last twelve (12)
months. 
* APCO membership is not necessary to qualify for an award. 
* APCO membership is not necessary to make a nomination. 
* Nominations will be accepted from any supervisor within the
chain-of-command or from any group of three or more co-workers in
agreement. 
* Nominations must be received no later than Friday, March 14, 2008.

For guidelines, instructions, and nomination form, visit the Virginia
APCO website at www.virginia-apco.org.
