Good Afternoon Members:
It is time to fill the AFCA Urban and Rural Membership Director at Large positions. We are issuing the first call for nominations for these two separate roles.
Current Urban Membership Director at Large, Chief Trevor Brice of Okotoks, has expressed that he will allow his name to stand for another term.
According to the AFCA Bylaws, both the Urban and Rural Director at Large positions have three-year terms. Candidates must hold Active Member status to be eligible; prior board experience is not required. Drayton, having moved from Director at Large-Rural to 1st Vice President, has resigned from his former position after serving one year of his three-year term. Consequently, the individual elected as Rural Director at Large this year will serve until 2026, while the term for the Urban Director at Large will expire in 2027.
Although the Bylaws allow the Board to appoint a member to fill any vacancy resulting from a resignation for the remainder of the term, we have chosen to proceed with a full member election for the Rural Membership Director at Large position to incorporate the input of all members.
Please send your nominations for Rural and Urban Director at Large to: [email protected]
Follow along though watching for emails to the membership, on the AFCA website, Chiefs Chat, and AFCA members only Facebook page.
We are excited to announce that Trevor Grant, Fire Chief, County of Grande Prairie Regional Fire Service has been elected as the new 2nd Vice President of the Alberta Fire Chiefs Association.
Trevor has 22 years in the Fire Service and has worked in volunteer, composite, and career fire departments. He also has 11 years of previous experience in industrial fire brigades, worked for 6 years as a casual EMR with EMS, and served 6 years with Grande Prairie Technical Search and Rescue. He has been a member of the Alberta Fire Chiefs Association for many of those years and has been an Alternate Director for Zone 1 for the past 2 years and is the current Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
“I look forward to working with all members of the AFCA and feel that my experience in the three types of service models will be an asset. I would also like to thank Chief Evans for letting his name stand as it was a close election, I look forward to the mentorship that he can provide me in my new role.” — Trevor Grant, May 13, 2024
Chief Grant’s term will commence effective immediately for a two-year period expiring in 2026.
As we welcome Chief Grant to his new position, we also wish to extend our sincere gratitude to Chief Rob Evans for his outstanding service as the 2nd Vice President for six years. Chief Evans has played a crucial role in our achievements and set a high standard of leadership that we are confident will continue with Chief Grant.
Please join us in congratulating Chief Grant on his new role and in thanking Chief Rob Evans for his invaluable contributions.
