The IAEM-USA Career Excellence Award recognizes a leader who has made significant contributions throughout his/her career to promote and improve the emergency management profession. The 2010 recipient of the IAEM Career Excellence Award is the late Jack Colley, Chief, Texas Division of Emergency Management. Known to most as just “Chief,” Jack Colley provided unwavering leadership and strength in coordinating some of the nation’s largest emergency operations. Under Chief Colley’s leadership, Texas set the gold standard for emergency response and professional emergency management. After Hurricane Katrina, he initiated efforts allowing Texas evacuees to bring their pets with them after learning many chose to stay in harm’s way rather than leave their beloved animal companions behind. He initiated the Texas special needs evacuee tracking system to help both evacuees and their loved ones reunite in the aftermath of disasters. Texas hosted its first-ever annual Hurricane Conference under his tutelage, which provided a forum for evacuating and receiving jurisdictions to confer and agree on a myriad of operational issues involved in state hurricane response operations. Under his guidance, the annual Texas Homeland Security Conference grew into a nationally-respected conference serving all facets of emergency management. Chief Colley’s most recent undertaking was to coordinate what became the Interstate Emergency Response Support Plan. This ambitious plan included all five states comprising FEMA Region VI in early response activities to catastrophic disasters. It became a shining example of neighbors truly helping neighbors.
