Representing Alabama 911, RV White and Brandon Wallace of Athens-Limestone County 911 and Rod Coleman of Tuscaloosa County 911 ran in the First Annual Friends of 911 5K in Nashville at NENA National Conference.

This year's trip to Washington, D.C. was great as always.  Alabama was represented well as it is always is. This is our best time to get with our representatives in Washington, D. C. and let them know our concerns for our Alabama 911 system.  If you never been, you should really go next year.  If you have gone in the past, you know how important it is and hopefully you can keep attending.  

NENA honored one of the organization's past presidents, John Ellison, with the prestigious William E. Stanton Award for his continued devotion to and advocacy of public safety and 9-1-1.  John was unable to attend the conference, so the Alabama NENA delegation accepted his award by his request with the song "Sweet Home Alabama" playing in the background.  We are proud of John and greatly appreciate his dedication to 9-1-1. 

Thank you John and Congratulations.
