Members of the EMS/Rescue (EMS/R) Section recently created by the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) will enable volunteers in an emergency medical or rescue delivery system to vote and promote EMS issues on the national level. “EMS has long been an integral part of the NVFC’s mission, and this new Section gives the emergency medical services an even stronger voice on the national level as well as within the Council,” says NVFC Chairman Philip C. Stittleburg. “We encourage all volunteer EMS and rescue personnel to join the new Section and let their voice be heard.”
EMS/R Section members must be NVFC members. Section membership fee is $15. The Section membership will elect EMS/R Section leaders annually at the NVFC Spring Meeting. The leadership is comprised of a chair, a vice chair, a secretary, an NVFC director, and three directors-at-large. Stittleburg has appointed the following Section leaders to serve until the 2011 Spring Meeting elections: Ken Knipper, chair; John Lyman, vice chair; T.J. Nedrow, secretary; and Lee Sachs, NVFC director.
