TFCA - "Fire Chief of the Year 2010"

 

This award is open to any chief level officer of a recognized fire department in Tennessee.  Nominations must be submitted on an official nomination form, available by mail or from the  Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association web site.  The award period is for a calendar year, beginning on January 1, and ending on December 31 of the same year.  Nominations must be postmarked by June 1, 2011 for calendar year 2011 award.

 

A selection committee will review and evaluate all nominations received.  The selection committee will consist of the immediate three past presidents of the Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association.  If for some reason an immediate past president is unable to serve, the current president shall appoint a member, who shall be confirmed by the Board of Directors.  The selection committee shall review the nominations based upon the criteria of leadership, innovation, and achievement in managing resources to reduce the loss of life and property from fire and other emergencies.  Such programs may be in any area pertinent to the mission of the nominee's department.  If the selection committee feels that no nominations meet these criteria, the committee may elect to defer the award for that year.  This award is reserved for recognition only when such extraordinary and unusual circumstances so merit.

 

The award shall be presented at the banquet at the annual meeting of the Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association.  The award includes a commemorative plaque for the recipient, the inscription of the recipient’s name on a permanent plaque of all award winners displayed at the Tennessee Fire and Codes Training Academy, and a $500 grant to the recipient's department for fire safety or injury prevention materials.
