Frame Service Award for outstanding leadership in establishing new training centers, promulgating NAEMT courses in Greece, Cyprus, Georgia, Romania, and ensuring that students in Greece have access to gold-standard NAEMT education. Sergeant Major Sandro “Rabbit” Heinrich (left) and Alan O’Brien, our NATO liaisons, both received the 2024 Dr. Norman E. McSwain, Jr. Leadership Award for their contributions to the growth of TCCC in NATO countries, 20 of which now work directly with NAEMT to bring TCCC to their training centers thanks to their efforts. Both awards are sponsored by Zoll.

The awards were presented at the World Trauma Symposium during the NAEMT Annual Meeting, Sept. 9-13, in Las Vegas, NV. Also pictured are Symposium moderators Col (Ret) Warren Dorlac, MD, FACS and CAPT Margaret Morgan, MD, FACS, CAPT MC(FS) USN, and NAEMT President Susan Bailey, MSEM, NRP.
