Sandy,

 

Dear EMS Colleagues,

 

EMS week is quickly approaching, May 17 - 23, 2020. This year the national theme is "Ready Today. Preparing for Tomorrow" which seems fitting for our Greater Miami Valley EMS Council Awards.

 

The PR Committee is seeking nominations for two awards to be handed out at an EMS Council Meeting. Remember that anyone who is a member of an agency that belongs to EMS can become a voting member on those and other committees.  If you are interested, reach out to the chair of the committee.

 

The first award is the Norma Dittrick Extra Measure of Service Award. This award is centered around significant contributions to EMS, contribution to the community and self-improvement.  You can find the criteria here: https://www.gmvemsc.org/uploads/nomination-dittrick.pdf

 

The second award is the Tom Long Lifetime Achievement Award, and it's designed to recognize outstanding individuals who have made a life-long contribution to the high quality of emergency medical services within the greater Miami Valley. The nomination form can be found here:  https://www.gmvemsc.org/uploads/nomination-long.pdf

 

Please share these award nominations with your agencies because we all are doing amazing work! Send all nominations to mpitstick@ccchd.com.

 

Please do not fill the nomination form out on the website and submit online.  Fill out the form and scan it in or simply email Michelle with your nominations.
