The Council's Board of Directors is composed of individuals from the
North Central Region who represent a cross section of EMS expertise and
individuals whose activities are significantly affected by regional EMS
policies. The Board meets biannually to review the activities of the
Council and to ratify the actions of the Executive Committee. In
addition, Board Members regularly provide input to the Council Staff.
The Board of Directors currently includes representation in the
following categories: local government, EMS providers (commercial
and volunteer), health professionals (physician, nursing and
administration), fire protection, law enforcement, higher education,
planning agencies and consumers. Although most interest groups are
adequately represented in the current Board membership, the Council
maintains a policy of encouraging membership for anyone who feels under
represented and is willing to make an active contribution to the
development of regional EMS.
