As a member of CEMSEA, and Chair of our Government Affairs Committee, Amanda has worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the challenges EMS educators face in public and institutionally accredited programs.  We are pleased that her efforts have been recognized by state officials and offer our support as she begins her term as the newest EMS Commissioner.
