My first year as a dispatcher I got dispatcher of the year. Thinking it was the fire/EMS personnel that chose me, I drew this picture from a photo of one of our firemen from our local fire/EMS website, making a thank you card and sending a copy to each one of our fire stations. I since learned that it is our dispatch supervisors that choose the dispatcher. Although I didn't make them a card I still count it as one of the highlights, being chosen so soon in my career.
