• Karen Crawford (incumbent)

Executive Council Representative

• Mary Sue Robey (incumbent)

Commercial Representative (voted on by Commercial members only)

• Victor Burton (incumbent) – I have worked in the Telecommunications Industry for over 31 years. I did not realize I was beginning a lifetime calling when I was offered an exciting opportunity with the startup, XYpoint. XYpoint’s goal, route mobile 9-1-1 calls to the appropriate PSAP based on location information, had never been achieved. XYpoint’s success transformed 9-1-1.
  
  This was the beginning of my interest and curiosity with 9-1-1. 20 years later, XYpoint is now Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and our 9-1-1 team continues to improve how individuals request emergency help. My appreciation of the 9-1-1 industry has expanded as I have become aware of the countless individuals in and across many areas of this Public Safety service who continue to provide much needed expertise and diligence.  So many people work hard to deliver the most important call many of us ever make.
  
  My experience with Comtech’s 9-1-1 products and passion to improve 9-1-1 services makes me a good candidate for the Washington APCO NENA Commercial Representative position. I have learned from my last two years as the Commercial Representative, and I look forward to continue learning and serving Public Safety in this position.
• Della Mauler – I look forward to serving the Washington APCO-NENA Chapter as the Commercial Representative.  I believe that my longevity will bring value to the Emergency Communications communities our Chapter serves and to the Commercial community.  We each invest in products and services that ease the burden for our ECCs. I have been serving Public Safety since 1996.  I have been an active supporter of the Washington State APCO NENA Chapter.  Thank you for your consideration!
