The MONENA First President's Award of Excellence is the most prestigious award given by the Missouri Chapter of the National Emergency Number
Association. This award is committed to the memory of Major Gerald Hollander, the first president of MONENA, who served as President from March 1988 to

friendship until his passing in 1997.
The First President's Award of Excellence is awarded to those professionals whose personal contributions extend above and beyond the normal
expectations of their duties as they relate to 9-1-1 services. The award recipient must be an individual who has consistently demonstrated his or her
dedication to 911 services through their service, employment and advocacy of professional development of 9-1-1.
To qualify for this award, a person must be nominated by a MONENA member in good standing. The nomination must be delivered, in writing, to the

MONENA President will appoint a committee consisting of at least three MONENA members who will meet prior to the Annual Conference to review and
