She has received the CPSE Chief Fire Officer (CFO) credential, and her Certified Public Manager certification from Arizona State University. And if I could, I would bestow upon her a PhD in kindness, interpersonal skills, humility, and humanity. She is among the most wonderful people I have had the opportunity to know in my career - and in my life. The attention she pays to all of those around her, and the sincere interest she displays towards their overall wellbeing, are nothing short of amazing. Bottom line, Fire Chief Mary Cameli is the consummate fire service professional and human being and has been very successful in both her career and her personal life. She has a terrific husband and family, such an interesting upbringing in Chicago, fantastic sense of humor, and to top it off, Mary is an example of consistently strong leadership, involvement, and success that sets the bar so high that it can get lost in the clouds. She never talks about her accomplishments and actually blushes when someone brings them up in a public setting. The fire service is blessed that Chief Cameli changed from her career in education, and instead, became a firefighter. She has given so much of herself to her family, community, and profession...and if you know her as a friend, you are among the many fortunate enough to do so. She is special!
