The Coalition may award a deserving recipient the “Shining Star” each year, a symbol of appreciation given to the recipient for an outstanding contribution to public fire and life safety education and/or service.

Nominations for the Shining Star award must be submitted to the Secretary prior to the May meeting each year. Submittals will be added to the Agenda for consideration at the May meeting. The Board will consider all submissions, and a majority vote will determine the recipient of the award each year. The Shining Star award will be presented to the recipient(s) at the next occurrence of the Virginia Fire and Life Safety Educators’ Conference or other appropriate time and place as determined by the Board.
