A Word From President Leticia Truex

 

Dear Texas NENA Members, Partners, and Friends,

​

It’s an incredible honor to serve as President of the Texas Chapter

of NENA. Every day, I’m inspired by the dedication, passion, and

professionalism you bring to the vital mission of emergency

communications. Whether you are a telecommunicator,

GIS specialist, trainer, administrator, educator, or

vendor partner — your work is truly the backbone of public safety

in Texas.

​

​

Texas is a big, diverse state, but the challenges we face in 9-1-1 are shared. Texas NENA is here to connect, support, and advocate for every professional who plays a role in making sure help is always just a call away. Together, we’re advancing technology, influencing policy, and providing training and leadership opportunities that empower our members and strengthen our systems.

​

In the year ahead, we’ll continue to focus on:

​

• Expanding educational opportunities through ENP and training scholarships, the Texas Public Safety Fall Symposium, and the annual Texas Public Safety Conference.

​

• Advocating at the state and national levels for Next Generation 9-1-1 and sustainable funding.

​

• Supporting wellness and recognition programs that celebrate and care for our telecommunicators.

​

Most importantly, we want to hear from you — your ideas, concerns, and successes. This is your organization, and your voice helps shape where we go next.

​

Thank you for the work you do every day. It matters. And thank you for your continued support of Texas NENA. I look forward to serving alongside you as we work together to keep Texas 9-1-1 strong.

​

With gratitude and respect,
Leticia “Tish” Truex
President, Texas NENA
