Today, a historic event occurred within the IAFF Executive Board who elected IAFF's 8th District Vice President Thomas H. Miller to be the next General Secretary Treasurer of this International Association of Fire Fighters.  This is the first time that the C&B of the IAFF had to be initiated to fill a position vacated by a principal officer, with the resignation of GST Vinny Bollon who served this great International for over 20 years as IAFF's GST.

Thomas (Tommy) H. Miller served in the Indianapolis Fire Department for 37 years, the son of a Fire Captain that died in the line of duty.  GST Miller went on to serve the IAFF for nearly 35 years in the capacities of Local S/T, president, State President (24 years) and 8th District IAFF VP for 9 1/2 years.  In an acceptance speech, GST Miller stated that Vinny Bollon had left "large shoes to fill......he was humbled by this great honor and support given to him by his peers on the board.....and that he could not have accomplished this without the love and support of his wife Barb for the past 28 years".  GST Miller was sworn in today and takes office immediately.
