Summary of Resolution 25-17:
The National Registry’s Board of Directors proposes creating an EMS Advisory Group of 10–15 representatives from across the EMS community. Chaired by the Immediate Past Chair or another Executive Committee member if needed, the group would meet at least twice a year to provide insights and recommendations to the Board.Its purpose is to strengthen communication with the EMS community and gather external perspectives. The group is advisory only; all governance and decision-making authority remains with the Board.
