Tonight, we celebrate 40 years of advancing the EMS profession, honoring our history and paying tribute to those individuals who led our organization to become the great association it is today!  \nNAEMT has a remarkable history that tells a story of self-determination. Our organization has always chosen its own path, relying on the commitment, resolve and perseverance of our members to achieve our goals and advance our profession.  \nTo help tell our story, I am honored to welcome the following Past Presidents with us this evening:  \n• Paul Maniscalco, NAEMT President 1990-1991  \n• Nathan Williams, NAEMT President 2000-2002  \n• Ken Bouvier, NAEMT President 2004-2006  \n• Jerry Johnston, NAEMT President 2006-2008  \n• Pat Moore, NAEMT President 2009-2010  \n• And Don Lundy, NAEMT President 2013-2014  \nPat Moore:  \nThank you, Chuck. NAEMT was born in the 1970’s, a turbulent time in the United States. In some ways, a continuation of the 1960’s when minorities fought for equal rights, and many Americans joined the protest against the Vietnam War. Watergate, plus high unemployment and high inflation, weighed heavily on many Americans. “Malaise” was often used to describe the mood of the country.  \nIn these challenging times, on January 8, 1975 , representatives from each of the nine state EMS associations established at the time met in Chicago, Illinois to discuss the creation of a national EMS association. EMS pioneer Rocco Morando, then-founding Executive Director of the National Registry of EMTs, arranged the meeting. Despite the difficulties plaguing our country, Rocco inspired the group in Chicago to adopt his vision and become the founding members of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians-NAEMT.  \nHis perseverance earned him the title of NAEMT Founder, and his diligence in creating a national presence for a profession that was largely unknown to the public, is honored in our history and remembered in the mission of our association.  \nAlong with Rocco, our founding members:  \n• Created the first association bylaws and membership requirements.  \n• Held their first official meeting later that year, elected Roger Fox of Oregon as NAEMT’s first President; and  \n• Began operating as a national association of state associations. States collected the membership dues—initially set at two-dollars to support NAEMT’s agenda.  \nWe would be remiss if we did not mention the TV series “Emergency!” which ran from 1972-1979. This program shaped our national understanding of EMS and inspired a generation of young people to enter the EMS profession.  \nIn 1978, the full NAEMT Board met for the first time at the inaugural NAEMT Annual Meeting at Kent State University in Ohio. In that same year:  \n• The first National EMT of the Year Award was presented, and  \n• We adopted the original EMT Oath, written by Dr. Charles Gillespie, who also created the EMT Code of Ethics.  \nLet’s thank the presidents from the first years of NAEMT for their leadership.  \nNathan Williams:  \nThe 1980’s was a decade of great change and growth in the U.S. The end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Chernobyl, and other global events, along with the founding of CNN with round-the-clock world news, re-shaped our view of the world at home. Personal computers, VCRs, Cell Phones and Nintendos were introduced in the market, a sign that the “information age” was beginning. And, let’s not forget some of the outlandish fashions and hairstyles that many of us wore!  \nIn EMS, the 80’s brought a series of changes within our federal government that helped shape EMS systems and the EMS profession.  \n• The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 consolidated EMS funding into state block grants;  \n• NHTSA implemented a statewide EMS techn","cbCaijRxYKwCluSc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijRxYKwCluSc","pdf",83237,"English","# 2015 NAEMT General Membership Meeting and Awards Presentation\n## Celebrating 40 Years of Advancing the EMS Profession\n## Founding in 1975 and Early Milestones\n## 1980s Changes in U.S. EMS and PHTLS Development\n## 1990s Background and Ongoing Challenges","[{\"question\":\"What does the 2015 NAEMT General Membership Meeting celebrate?\",\"answer\":\"It celebrates 40 years of advancing the EMS profession, honoring NAEMT’s history and the leaders who built the association.\"},{\"question\":\"When and how was NAEMT founded?\",\"answer\":\"Representatives from nine state EMS associations met in Chicago on January 8, 1975 to discuss creating a national EMS association, leading to NAEMT’s founding members adopting Rocco Morando’s vision.\"},{\"question\":\"What major EMS and trauma-related developments occurred in the 1980s?\",\"answer\":\"The speeches cite changes such as consolidated EMS funding into state block grants, technical assessment programs, EMS for Children, and the development of PHTLS, including committee formation and faculty courses.\"}]","NAEMT 40th Anniversary General Membership Meeting - Celebrating 40 Years of Advancing the EMS Profession | PDF",1790151537,15]
