Congratulations To The 2017 CACP Award RecipientsPosted: July 20, 2017 This year there were great stories told about the recipients of the 2017 CACP awards during the Annual Conference in Colorado Springs. The awards review committee, chaired by Chief Dan Brennan of Wheat Ridge, included Chief John Camper (Grand Junction), Chief John Mackey (Edgewater), Chief Kimberly Stewart (Erie), Chief Dennis McLaughlin (Breckenridge) and Chief Chris Heberer (Fountain). This year there were more nominations and in more categories than in past years. The committee reviewed all nominations and compared them with the criteria for each. This was a lengthy process and CACP thanks the committee members for their time and effort.
