President's Message - January 2018Kevin Starbuck, CEM, TEM, CPM - President
One of the best opportunities to network with emergency management professionals is coming up on March 4-7, 2018 at the EMAT Symposium in San Marcos (https://www.emat-tx.org/event-2700735). The EMAT Symposium planning committee has put together an outstanding line-up of training opportunities and presenters to gain from our mutual experiences and grow as leaders in emergency management. (To view the Symposium agenda, click here.) In addition, opportunities are available to work on Certified Texas Emergency Manager (TEM) credentials with EMAT leadership that has been involved in the updating of the process. I encourage each of you to consider joining EMAT at the symposium in San Marcos. Lastly, EMAT values your membership and participation in the organization. To meet the organizations fiscal needs, the Board has approved an increase in membership dues that takes effect in February… so there is still time to take advantage of the current membership levels. EMAT has put together “10 Great Reasons to Be a Member” that highlight some of the benefits of being a member of EMAT. Make renewing your membership or joining EMAT part of your New Year’s resolution. - Kevin Starbuck, CEM, TEM - Region 5Assistant City Manager City of Amarillo P.O.
