The award ceremony for 2026 EVT of the year Investigator and Educators, has been moved to the Arizona Fire Chiefs Association and Arizona Fire Districts Association conference in July. This means we need to start the selection process now in order to be ready for the Chiefs conference. So nominations are open for all Arizona EVT's.
Due to the moving of the ceremony of the EVT of the Year, we need to get nominations in as quickly as possible. This year the ceremony will be part of the Fire Chief's conference being held on July 16, 2026. Nominations are due by June 12, 2026.
This year we have created a form that you may use to submit your nomination, which you will find at the end of this email. As in the past, you may also write up your nomination and submit it to me via email as an attached document.
Submit your nomination soon, like today.
