IAEMSC supports the needs of patients, communities and providers by providing support to current EMS executives, mentoring future leaders, and advocating for all EMS systems. Over the past year, a group of prominent EMS Chiefs developed a working group to share methods to support EMS leaders throughout the world culminating in the formation of the IAEMSC on February 9, 2008 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Organizing members included chief officers from communities across America and international participants from Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
