The City of Peoria announced that Emergency Communications Center (ECC) Manager David Tuttle was recently honored with the Presidential Leadership Award at the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) Conference, which took place in June in Indianapolis.
“We present the Presidential Leadership Award to a man who epitomizes the kind of leadership that NENA inspires and that is so valuable to the organization,” the nominating committee said.
Tuttle, an experienced member of the Illinois Chapter, currently leads the Joint Illinois NENA and Illinois APCO Legislative Committee as co chair. In this role, he helped organize the “9-1-1 Goes to Springfield” event and spearheaded campaigns to force the passage of major 9-1-1 surcharge legislation in the state.
Tuttle is also the Director of the City of Peoria 9-1-1 Center, Fire Chief of the Volunteer Fire Department in his community, and the Illinois NENA representative on the Statewide 9-1-1 Advisory Committee.
