Contratulations to our scholarship recipient!

We are thrilled to announce Hollie Smith as the first AZEM Scholarship recipient!

Holli's passion for emergency management began in the mid-1990s with the Civil Air Patrol and has grown into a remarkable career spanning incident management, disaster response, and veterinary homeland security. From rewriting Thurston County's Emergency Support Function (ESF) 11 to leading incident response roles at Boeing and beyond, Holli's dedication to merging emergency management with veterinary and agricultural industries is inspiring.

Her vision to enhance preparedness and response in animal-related incidents highlights her commitment to building safer, more resilient communities.
