2014 Valor Awards
with NJ State PBA 2014
Member of the Year
John Granahan steps out from behind
the scenes to talk with NJ COPS
Manville Local 236 State Delegate John Granahan took as much gratification – more even – in completing his first
Valor Awards as chairman as he did in being named NJ State PBA 2014 Member of the Year. Being that type of member is a big reason why he is Member of the Year. As has become the tradition, the Member of the Year allows NJ
COPS a glimpse into what makes him such a dedicated member.
How do you think this year’s Valor Awards went?
It was a little stressful running it for the first time. It worked out pretty
well. We’ve already done some debrief for what we need to do for next
year, and I think it will run a little smoother.

Jeff helped me with everything and we were enjoying the moment
there. Seeing all the recipients g WBv&G2F
