2026 Virtual Learning Sessions
April – Recognition as a Culture Builder: Celebrating the People Behind the Headset
Denise Amber Lee Foundation
About the VLS Series
April 2026 SESSION
This month marks National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, a time dedicated to honoring the vital work of those who answer the call when help is needed most. While this week is an important opportunity to pause and celebrate the heroes behind the headset, the most meaningful impact comes from making recognition an ongoing part of the communication center’s culture. Consistent, intentional recognition builds trust, strengthens morale, and drives long-term team success. It’s about more than a once-a-year celebration, it’s about creating an environment where contributions are acknowledged regularly, accomplishments are celebrated, and every team member knows their work matters. When recognition becomes part of daily operations, it transforms the workplace into more than just a job. It fosters teamwork, inspires excellence, and reminds every telecommunicator that their dedication makes a difference, not just this month, but every day of the year.
