Happy New Year!

As the year begins there is much to be excited about!

Telecommunicator Training & Certification We are working on getting SB-5555 relating to Public Safety Telecommunicators and the establishment of a Certification Board through the Legislature.
	2023 Chapter Calendar We have established a Chapter Photo Challenge so that we can build our first Chapter Photo Callendar in 2023.
New Committee Structures Made adjustments to committees and their structures.  Similar interests, roles, and tasks are now grouped within committees.  Some committees may have smaller workgroups dedicated to specific interests within their structure. Learn more and sign up!
	Annual Awards Added two new award categories:  Training Officer and Supervisor. Moved our awards timeline up and opened nominations for the previous year in January.  Learn more here.
