“After the year she had and the way she took over the position of secretary and has done an amazing job.”
“Ashley was elected to the position of secretary and has taken this head on with little to no training. She’s very organized, working to streamline many of the functions and coming up with new ideas. She took on the annual committee with full steam ahead and finished the last details during a truly difficult time in her life.”
Chief Hindt says that it was with great honor that they awarded this year’s Firefighter Of The Year Award to Ashley Korver.
