Excerpts from positivelynaperville.com:
The Center for Public Safety Excellence’s Commission on Professional Credentialing recently designated Naperville Fire Chief Mark Puknaitis as a Chief Fire Officer (CFO) for the third time. Chief Puknaitis joins an elite group of only 1,175 CFO’s worldwide.
The CFO designation is a voluntary program designed to recognize individuals who demonstrate their excellence in seven measured compo
nents, including experience, education, professional development, professional contributions, association membership, community involvement, and technical competencies. Chief Puknaitis received his original designation in 2010.
A Board of Review consisting of members of the fire and emergency services profession, academia and municipal agencies review each application and recommends successful candidates for designation to the Commission on Professional Credentialing.
This professional honor is valid for three years. Maintaining the designation requires recipients to show continued growth in the areas associated with the program.
