Brown, Jr., NREMT Executive Director since 1989, has announced his intention to retire in June 2013.  \nBill has been with the NREMT for 26 years, first being appointed the Advanced Level Certification Coordinator, and also serving as a Registry Representative. In just four years’time, he rose to the position of Executive Director. Since then, Bill has been a part of many national committees and has spoken about the NREMT and/or national EMS initiatives in all 50 states.  \nDuring Bill’s tenure as Executive Director the NREMT has increased its use as part of the licensure process for EMS providers from 29 states to the present 45 and Washington DC, along with all U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force medical personnel. The NREMT’s budget has increased ten-fold and the staff size has tripled.  \nThe Registry moved from pencil-paper examinations to computer based (CBT) examinations. The entire information technology (computer system) code has been re-written and many features added including the ability to notify state licensure agencies of passing scores within two days of completion of the examination. NREMT policies regarding felony convictions, Americans with Disabilities Act accommodationsand disciplinary actions have been revised. The Board of Directors  \nby-laws have been revised, changing the make-up of the Board to a more representative, broadbased EMS leadership board. Bill was also the author of the NREMT’s selfstudy that achieved accreditation for all NREMT certifications by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).  \nHe has been the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the NAEMSE, NAEMSP and NAEMT. Due to Bill’s impending retirement, The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) is looking for an outstanding individual with visionary leadership and management skills to become its next Executive Director.  \nKen Knipper is Awarded 2011 NAEMT Rocco V. Morando Lifetime Achievement Award  \nDedicated to supporting causes that improve EMS, Ken Knipper was the 2011 recipient of the NAEMT Rocco V. Morando Lifetime Achievement Award. Ken was presented with the award at the NAEMT General Membership meeting held August 30, 2011 in Las Vegas.  \nAccording to a press release distributed by the NAEMT, Ken was nominated for this award“due to his tireless and dedicated service to EMS in the many capacities he has served.” He is considered an instrumental leader and voice for EMS at all levels.  \nPrior to retiring, Ken was the Campbell County, Kentucky Emergency Manager.
