NAEMSP: Your Vote Needed on Bylaws Changes

Over the past few months, a task force comprised of a cross-section of NAEMSP members has been meeting to do a thorough review of NAEMSP’s Bylaws. Their work resulted in proposed changes to just a few sections of the NAEMSP Bylaws. Many of the changes are minor, but others propose new ways of approaching the association’s governance and need your thoughtful attention.  Ballots will be mailed to all voting members on Monday, July 6 and the voting window will remain open until August 6.

The proposed changes to the bylaws can be found here. The current bylaws in their entirety can be found here.

We appreciate your vote by the deadline of August 6 at 9 pm Pacific Time.  Members for whom we either do not have an email address in the NAEMSP® database or the email address does not work, will receive a postcard at the physical mailing address we have on file. The postcard will provide detailed instructions about accessing the voting website.

If you did not receive a voting ballot, please contact us at [email protected]
