The Congressional Fire Services Institute is accepting nominations for the Mason Lankford Fire Service Leadership Award. Sponsored jointly by CFSI and Motorola Solutions, Inc., the award recognizes individual leadership in advancing fire and life safety initiatives. The award presentation will take place on April 7th at the 23rd Annual National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner in Washington, DC. The award is named after the late-Mason Lankford, a former fire service leader from the state of Texas who worked closely with former Congressman Curt Weldon in establishing the Congressional Fire Services Caucus in 1987. The criteria stress the importance of forming positive working relationships with government leaders and promoting fire/emergency service and life safety issues to improve the safety of the fire and emergency services and the public they serve. The theme of the dinner program is "Remembering Honor, Courage and Sacrifice." Over 2,000 state and national fire and emergency services leaders are expected to attend the event, making it the largest gathering of fire service leaders in the country. Featured speakers include the Co-Chairmen of the Congressional Fire Services Caucus and Administration officials.
