In APCO’s other election, Martha Carter defeated JJ McFarland to win Second Vice President. Carter received 742 votes, McFarland 294.
Carter has been an APCO member for more than 26 years. She is a 9-1-1 Director from Shreveport, Louisiana. She has a co-located PSAP called Caddo Parrish 9-1-1.
Shortly after Carter was elected and the general session ended, she was surrounded by well-wishers.
“I’m honored, Carter said. “I am honored, and it’s a privilege. And I just hope that I can make the association proud and I can do the right things for the right reasons.”
