NASEMSO Councils

Councils Overview
NASEMSO councils provide forums for communication, interaction, and networking between peers. These forums allow for the sharing of best practices; developing and encouraging mentoring programs; the joint resolution of obstacles and challenges; and the nationwide promotion of evidence-based decision making for EMS system development.

In addition to council-specific goals and projects, councils formulate recommendations to the NASEMSO Board of Directors on policies and positions in support of NASEMSO's mission.
