We would like to congratulate our team leader Glen Millar for being recognised for his achievements.
I feel so honoured and remain humble. I'm really stoked to have won this award.
But I'm even happier and privileged, to be a part of some really great teams with passionate people, wanting to do and give their best for the betterment of others. I received this award in recognition of the great teams that I work within. Thank you

It was my pleasure to present Glen Millar of the Waipukurau Volunteer Fire Brigade with the Kim Hall leadership award which he was nominated for at our recent AGM. Glens nomination reads as follows:

I would like to nominate Glen Millar for this award for being a great leader and mentor within his volunteer fire brigade & wider community.
Some of Glens past & current achievements are Arranging for Mike Kings -I am Hope, to come to Waipukarau to do a community talk raising awareness for issues around mental health for the wider community. Running and helpirg other brigades run the Operation Maxwell volunteer training weekends, Competing in waterway events & Road Crash Rescue competitions . Competing in the Skytower challenge events multiple times and raising a large amount of money for this event, Past volunteer for St Johns Ambulance. Glen has served on the HB Sub Asscn Executive and was presedent in 2016 and still contributes to HB Sub Association events.
Glen always does what Glen does, and that is putting his fellow fire fighters and communities best interests ahead of his own, and looks after his crews welfare, after difficut events he holds debriefs, and also follows up with each member, with text messages and sometime personal visits
Glen is often seen in FENZ uniformn during the day heading off to a meeting to represent his brigade or FENZ across the local area, all of his while running his own pane| repair business for over 20 years, employing multiple staff which supports multiple families. Glen helped myself plan the Taradale Operation Maxwel raining weekend in 2016 and has been a good source of information or someone I can ask a question about anything since this time.

Congratulations Glen
