and served on the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition Board. She has also served on numerous American Burn Association (ABA) Committees and was the founding co-chair of the Phoenix Society and ABA joint committee on Aftercare and Reintegration (ARC). She works with a variety of major fire service organizations to strengthen connections to information and resources in order to enhance their programs. To appreciate the diversity of Amy's achievements, one can look at the organizations that have selected her to receive some of their most prestigious awards. Just a few of these honors include the NFPA James M. Shannon Advocacy Medal in 2025; the ABA Special Achievement Award in 2022; the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) Fire Sprinkler Advocate of the Year in 2019; the ABA Curtis P. Artz Distinguished Service Award; and several others. Amy Acton has guided the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors to become integrated into the fabric of the fire service, and she continues to share her humble demeanor, passion, and leadership in ways that simply enhance our performance and effectiveness. I have worked with Amy and the Phoenix Society often over the years and can personally attest to how incredible she and her organization truly are...and how much better they have made the fire service. Thank you for your commitment, persistence, and love for what you do!
