Gregg Riddle Memorial Scholarship 2022
PSAP Concepts and Solutions, LLC (PCS) established a scholarship fund in honor of one of our partners and friend, Gregg Riddle, RPL, ENP who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer in 2014. A state, national and international trade association officer, Gregg heralded the importance of continuing education and participation in 9-1-1 conferences, chapter activities, industry committees for professional growth and the joint efforts of APCO and NENA.
In recognition of Gregg's honor, legacy of 9-1-1 and passion for the importance of ongoing industry involvement and professional development PCS, Illinois APCO and Illinois NENA have established the Gregg Riddle Memorial Scholarship ("GRMS"). PCS believes, as did Gregg, that there are individual members of both organizations who would benefit from the exposure gained by attending the Annual Illinois IPSTA 9-1-1 Conference. The GRMS is intended to facilitate that attendance.
GRMS Application and Award Process:
GRMS be awarded to two members of IL APCO and/or IL NENA who have an active public safety membership category with either of the two associations. The GRMS is awarded to the applicants that submit applications with the best justification supporting the GRMS award.
The application form will be available on the IL NENA and IL APCO websites starting in July of 2022 and must be post marked by August 15th, 2022. The award will be granted by August 31st, 2022.
