2026-2027 GENERAL ELECTION FOR TENA BOARD
2nd Vice President (4 year progressive term)
Kristy Borden, Director, Williamson Co. Dept. of Emerg. Communications
I have been serving in public safety communications since 2003 and currently serve as the Director of the Williamson County Department of Emergency Communications in Franklin, Tennessee. My career began as an EMS dispatcher before I joined the Metro Nashville Department of Emergency Communications and later the La Vergne Police Department. In 2008, I joined Williamson County as a Telecommunicator and have since progressed through the ranks, serving as a Supervisor, Operations Manager, and now Director since 2020. I hold several industry certifications, including NENA's Center Manager Certification Program (CMCP), APCO Communications Center Manager, APCO Communications Center Supervisor, Registered Public-Safety Leader (RPL), and Certified Public Executive (CPE). I currently serve as the Middle Tennessee TERT Coordinator and on the TECB Long Term planning committee. I believe my experience as both a frontline telecommunicator and communications center director has given me a well-rounded understanding of the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities facing our profession. Over the course of my career, I have worked in four communications centers, served in leadership roles at multiple levels, managed major technology and operational initiatives.
I am seeking the position of TENA 2nd Vice President because I want to broaden my horizons beyond my own communications center and contribute to the advancement of 911 across Tennessee. In January of this year, I graduated from the Certified Public Executive (CPE) program. One of the most impactful lessons from that experience was the challenge to look beyond our individual organizations and work to improve public safety and emergency communications as a whole.
While I have not previously served on a board in this capacity, if elected I would welcome the opportunity to learn from the current TENA Board and assist them in their efforts to strengthen and advocate for 911 in the state of Tennessee.

East Region Representative (1 year term)
Alora Oler-Wyatt Director, Unicoi Co. ECD
​​Hello, TENA members.
I am seeking your support as I ask to serve as one of your East Region Representatives. I bring 10 years of public safety communications experience, including 7 years serving as a telecommunicator, Shift Lead, Training Officer, and member of a Quality Assurance team. For the past 3 years, I have had the privilege of serving as the Director of the Unicoi County Emergency Communications District.
I believe my frontline experience, combined with my perspective as the director of a small agency, allows me to bring a well-rounded and practical understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing public safety communications centers throughout Upper East Tennessee. I understand the importance of supporting telecommunicators at every level while also addressing the operational, training, staffing, and technological needs of our agencies.
Over the last three years, I have greatly enjoyed building relationships and collaborating with fellow TENA members and directors across the state. Those interactions have strengthened my commitment to our profession and reinforced the value of sharing knowledge, supporting one another, and working together to advance emergency communications in Tennessee.
As your East Region Representative, I would work to ensure that the voices of our region are heard, advocate for the needs of agencies of all sizes, and promote engagement, professionalism, and continued growth within our association.
Thank you for your consideration and support. I would be honored to serve as your East Region Representative.

West Region Representative (2 year term)
​​Sean Lovejoy, ENP, CMCP, RPL, Deputy Commander , Memphis Police Emergency Communications
Hello TENA! My name is Sean Lovejoy and I am currently seeking re-election to the position of West TN Regional Representative for the TENA Board. Over the last 2 years, TENA has accomplished many things and I have been proud to be a part of it. I currently serve as the Deputy Commander of the Memphis Police Emergency Communications Bureau and in this role, I have the honor and privilege of working with some of the finest 9-1-1 professionals in the Country. I have been in the PSAP for 19.5 years, starting as a line-level Telecommunicator and working my way up to my current position. I currently hold my ENP and CMCP certification from NENA, and have completed APCO’s RPL program as well. In my current role, I am well-versed in dealing with high-stress situations and have extensive experience in solving complex problems. I have always brought this same approach to the TENA board when representing the Districts of West Tennessee. Memphis may be the largest PSAP in West TN but we all share the same challenges with the same goals. Staffing, retention, morale, shrinking budgets and rising costs, and trying to deliver the most effective and efficient services to our local jurisdictions. Representing West TN to the full TENA board has been a privilege and an honor over the last 2 years, and I humbly ask for your vote to allow me to continue in that capacity. Thank you for your support and I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving both West TN and the entire TENA organization.

​​Robert 'Lynn' Campbell, Executive Director, Hawkins Co. ECD
I currently serve as one of the East Regional Representatives for the Tennessee Emergency Number Association, and I am seeking reelection to this position.
I bring approximately 22 years of experience in the 911 profession, with the last 5 years serving as the Executive Director for Hawkins County 911. Over the course of those 22 years, I have served the profession from multiple perspectives, as a 911 telecommunicator, as a 911 board member, and now in executive leadership. This range of experience has given me a well-rounded understanding of the challenges facing Districts and PSAPs at every level, from the dispatch floor to the boardroom.
In total, I have 24 years of public safety experience. Prior to being hired full-time as Executive Director at Hawkins County 911, I served 16 years with the Hawkins County Sheriff's Office, finishing that portion of my career as Lieutenant of the Narcotics Division. I also previously served as an EMT-IV with Hawkins County EMS. This diverse background across dispatch, law enforcement, and emergency medical services has given me a comprehensive, real-world understanding of how 911 connects and supports every branch of public safety.
As an East Region Representative, I have valued the opportunity to meet and collaborate with fellow 911 professionals throughout the Eastern region and across the State. I remain a strong advocate for the Districts, regularly engaging at the state and local level on funding, legislative, and operational issues that affect emergency communications. I also stay current through ongoing training and continuing education in emergency communications to better serve and advocate for the Districts. If reelected, I will continue to advocate for the Districts and assist fellow professionals in any way possible.
Outside of work, I have been married to my wife Natasha for 19 years, and we are the proud parents of two daughters, Raelyn and Maelie
