Walter Pinches EMS Leadership Award

"A man's learning, experiences, and wisdom need not die with him,
but may live forever if recorded as his legacy."
 

Walter Pinches was Life Member who responded to over 3,000 calls during his time with TVAC.  He was known as an innovator, not only of ambulances, but of good common and uncommon sense, policy and procedures. This identifying characteristic developed within Walter after completing a variety of courses, considered "off the beaten path", in order to bring fresh ideas and perspective to TVAC.

The intent of the Walter Pinches EMS Leadership Award is to honor a TVAC member who has not only has proven to have a spark of talent for leadership, but also seeks out and imparts fresh ways of thinking to TVAC. It is with Walter's innovative spirit that the award itself is given in scholarship form, providing the award recipient with funding to enroll in advanced EMS and/or EMS related leadership training.  The recipient will also have his/her name added to a plaque hung at headquarters, recognizing the distinguished TVAC leaders who have been selected to receive this award.

Member must have served as an Operations line officer, an elected and voting member of the TVAC Board of Trustees, or a Committee Chairperson.
