LOCAL UNION PR CAMPAIGN/PROJECT

First Place: "Power Through Participation" 

Producer: Doug Baier
Submitted by: Washington State Council of Fire Fighters

This multimedia project is a very powerful and comprehensive member orientation program. It gives an insight into the history of unionism and its benefits for professional fire fighters. The handbook along with the video contain brochures with details about local unions, membership services, local contracts, and what it means to be a union member. It's an excellent effort to involve new members and keep them for a lifetime.

Second Place: Self produced promotional tape

Producer: Mrk Vihetor and Tom Fieffer 
Submitted by: Portage, IN Local 3151

This was a unique public relations effort by Portage's professional fire fighters. The video was self-produced and perfectly blends fire fighters' professionalism and humanity. It is a humorous yet effective promotion.

Second Place: "Child" and "Life Saver" 

Producer: Roy Kimura 
Submitted by: Honolulu, HI Local 1463

These two entries were short and to the point. They project fire fighters as life savers and as a welcome sight, and ask the community to support the fire fighter's cause and the local union's agenda.
