The Center for Association Leadership (ASAE), recently presented the National Volunteer Fire Council’s National Junior Firefighter Program with a 2011 Power of A Gold Award. The NVFC is one of only nine associations nationwide that received this award.
The Power of A Awards are designed to honor associations that exemplify how the association industry and its professionals are essential to a stronger America and world. The Awards recognize and celebrate the contributions associations make to society by enriching lives, creating a competitive workforce, preparing society for the future, driving innovation, and making a better world.
The National Junior Firefighter Program was given the award for “The Power to Create a Competitive Workforce” category. The program provides fire departments and youth with the resources, tools, and information they need to help develop, grow, enhance, promote, and participate in their local junior firefighter program. The Program is also a recruitment tool for the next generation of firefighters.
The Power of A Gold Award is the highest recognition that a program can receive within one of the five Power of A Award categories. ASAE received nearly 100 entries for this year’s Awards. In addition to the Power of A Gold Award winners, the selection committee recognized six entries with The Power of A Summit Award, the highest recognition, and sixteen with The Power of A Silver Award.
There are over 110 junior firefighter programs in New England.
