Training coordinator and CEM

Congratulations to Evan Lloyd for being nominated by EMANZ as 'Training Coordinator of the Year'. Evan will find out at the EMANZ graduation on 9th August whether he has won this category... all the best Evan.

I will be talking with Steve Glassey (IAEM Board member) next week about advancing the Certified Emergency Manager programme and hope that a few emergency management professionals in the region take up the opportunity to become involved in this internationally recognised accreditation. Here is a link to the CEM brochure and here is a link to the CEM study guide. In essence, the International Association of Emergency Managers runs the programme to provide a standard for EM professionals. On-going demonstration of a contribution to the sector and professional development are required to maintain certification. In this respect, the programme is like many professional registers that ensure their members are current in the industry.
