WWW.NJCOPSMAGAZINE.COM ■ DECEMBER 2014 39 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. Why are you smiling in this photo with Edison Local 75 State Delegate Jeff Diakunczak? Jeff helped me with everything and we were enjoying the moment there. Seeing all the recipients g WBv&G2F
