Registration is now open for the 2025 Ohio APCO Gold Star Awards Luncheon, an annual tradition that celebrates the outstanding achievements and contributions of Ohio’s public safety communications professionals.
This year’s luncheon will take place on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Villa Milano, 1630 Schrock Road, Columbus, Ohio 43229. Commercial partners will be on hand before the luncheon, providing a great opportunity to network, connect, and explore the latest products and services supporting our industry.
The Gold Star Awards honor the men and women who are the backbone of Ohio’s 9-1-1 system — individuals whose dedication, skill, and commitment have made a lasting impact on public safety across the state. Presented jointly by the Ohio Chapters of the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials, International (APCO), these awards recognize the vital role public safety communications professionals play in protecting the safety and well-being of our communities.
