All three finalists for Dane County 911 director have local connections.
A 911 board selection panel this week sent three names to Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk for final review: John Dejung, Eddie Goldsmith and Phillip Vorlander.
Dejung, the top choice, who earned his master’s degree in business administration from UW-Madison, has been director of the Minneapolis 911/311 center for 12 years. The center was named the best in the country last year by the Washington-based E9-1-1 Institute for how it handled the Minneapolis bridge collapse in 2007.
