Honored for Motivation and Vision

Scott Anderson has been selected as one of the recipients for the 2016 Paul Gleason Lead by Example award. Three individuals and two groups from across the wildland fire service have been chosen to receive this national award.

The award was created by the NWCG Leadership Committee to remember Paul Gleason’s contributions to the wildland fire service. During a career spanning five decades, Paul was a dedicated student of fire, a teacher of fire, and a leader of firefighters. The intent of this award is to recognize individuals or groups who exhibit this same spirit and who exemplify the wildland fire leadership values and principles. Scott's work in support of the Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program has been a demonstration of motivation and vision.

Scott was recognized for his involvement with the Wildland Fire Safety Training Annual Refresher program. Scott's undying commitment to making a difference through thoughtful, meaningful safety content personifies the art of leadership.

The success of the WFSTAR program is a testament to your courage, strong leadership, and commitment to the safety of the ground firefighter. Scott's fearless vision and incredible creativity reached “outside the box.” Through his example, students of fire have been inspired to go beyond the ordinary and pursue excellence through innovation and creativity. Scott's example will live on for years to come.

Congratulations, Scott, on a job well done!
