(KMZA)--Nemaha County Emergency Management Director Eddie Aldrine has been honored by his peers.

Kansas Emergency Management Association Board President John Stradal presented Aldrine with the group's 2023 " Outstanding New Emergency Management Professional" award during Monday's Nemaha County Commission meeting.

Aldrine was named as the award recipient during the Association's annual conference in Mulvane last month.

He was nominated for the award by two different groups of emergency managers throughout the state.

In receiving the award, a release says Aldrine was recognized for the work he has accomplished in creating a more resilient and prepared county for all Nemaha County residents.

“This award means everything to me. Being recognized by my colleagues (some of whom I've looked up to for a while now) for the work I'm doing is such a great feeling. Receiving the award also puts Nemaha County back on the map throughout the state for having a stout emergency management department again where it had been seen as lacking for the last few years. Being able to do that for our county means just as much to me as receiving the award, itself. “ said Aldrine.
