Airlife Ridealongs - 10/30/07
In order to do Airlife Ridealong time, you must take the safety and orientation course that Carle provides us at no charge. The first of these classes (it is a one-time class about 1 hour long) is going to be Monday, November 5th at 6pm. We are planning on having another class at a later point in time, to accommodate folks who have class or meetings Monday night, as well as overflow from the first class. We do not anticipate all interested and qualified individuals to be able to take this first class and we apologize.
In order to be eligible for this class you must be a cleared to lead EMT and in good standing with IEMS. This means you must have passed your critical skills for this semester and you also must take a protocol exam (during this school year). We are happy to administer these protocol exams for folks who still need them during the office hours of Ben Lantow, Steve Gutzmer ( sgutzme2@uiuc.edu) or Kurt Bloomstrand ( kblooms2@uiuc.edu). In addition, you also must have worked 1 operations event as an EMT and have been cleared by a supervisor or ops officer to work alone as a lead EMT.
Sign ups for this class will be done on a first come, first serve basis. Officers will begin signing up EMT's starting at approx 9am on 10/29. All EMT's will be allowed to sign up on this list and we will take as many as we can accommodate. IEMS reserves the right to not allow EMT's to participate based on the above eligibility requirements. These elegibility requirements will be checked as of FRIDAY NOVEMBER 2nd, so if you have not yet worked your first event you have until Friday to arrange to do so. Josh Zimmerman is this week's supervisor ( jzimmer3@uiuc.edu). The list will be taken down Friday at 5pm.
The first 20-30 EMT's that are signed up and eligible as of Friday at 5pm will be e-mailed by SUNDAY at 5pm with the exact location of the class, as well as with anything extra they should bring to class with them. The number of EMT's accepted to this first class will be decided at Carle's discretion. Please remember there will be another class at a later point in time so we can get other EMT's who have class or other commitments involved. Also do not get discouraged if you are 30 on the list, I do not know how many EMTs Carle will take yet and will not know until later in the week.
If you have any questions please e-mail blantow2@uiuc.edu.
Meeting Minutes 03/30/08
Officers Absent: Toby, Grant
Topics Discussed:
Welcome to our new education equipment officer, David Jandura.
Due to issues that have arisen this year the Lead EMT Instructor contract will be revised prior to signing a new one for next semester.
The Merchandise Officer position is being modified. The new title will tentatively be Acquisitions Officer. Duties will include all previous duties but will expand to include order placement for Operations equipment and some Education equipment. This was done to equalize the work load of the merchandise position with that of other offices and to help relieve some responsibilities from the respective equipment officers.
An advanced web design class here on campus took on the project of redesigning the IEMS website this semester. The results were displayed at the meeting and a new template has been chosen. A few expanded versions will be presented before deciding on a final site. Implementation of the new site will come following the expanded designs.
