BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
A stakeholder working group was formed to recommend necessary revisions to the MAEMSA ILA. Chief Spears was a member of the stakeholder working group. The intent of the revised ILA was to improve the structure and operation of MAEMSA by more clearly defining the roles, responsibilities and reporting structure of executive staff and the stakeholder Advisory Boards.Some of the prominent changes include:
- Expanding the MAEMSA Board of Directors from 6 to 9 voting members, 2 of which we be chiefs of the member cities First Responder Organizations;
- Removing term limits of the voting Directors and defining the methods of reappoint and removal of representatives;
- Defining the roles and responsibilities of the Medical Director, the Emergency Physicians Advisory Board or EPAB and the First Responders Advisory Board or FRAB;
- Establishment of a Conflict of Interest policy;
- Defining the MAEMSA Executive Committee and the reporting structure.
The attached ILA has undergone legal counsel review on behalf of all 15 MAEMSA member entities.
