NAEMT President Connie A. Meyer has been appointed to the Education and Workforce committee of the National EMS Advisory Council (NEMSAC). Selection for ad hoc committee members includes consideration by the committee chair and final selection by the council chair.

"It is an honor and privilege for me to have this opportunity to represent EMS practitioners on this committee," says Meyer. "Education and workforce issues are always important to NAEMT and its members."

The National EMS Advisory Council (NEMSAC) was formed in April 2007 as a nationally recognized council of EMS representatives and consumers to provide advice and recommendations regarding EMS to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The NEMSAC does not exercise program management or regulatory development responsibilities, and makes no decisions directly affecting the programs on which it provides advice. The NEMSAC provides a forum for the development, consideration, and communication of information from a knowledgeable and independent perspective of a strategy for advancing EMS systems nationwide.
