1) Contact Information/NCEMSF Membership
Please update your online profile today with your corrected mailing address,
email address, and telephone number, and let NCEMSF know how to best reach you
so that we may keep you informed about upcoming events and happenings. The
NCEMSF Database of Collegiate EMS Providers also provides an excellent resource
in the event of natural disaster or other public health emergency, so please
keep your information up-to-date so that should the situation arise, we can
contact you and collectively as campus based EMS providers answer the call to
act!

While online, please also renew your NCEMSF membership for the 2009-2010
academic year. Annual membership dues support ongoing NCEMSF activities and
programs. By submitting your dues early, you affirm your ongoing support of
campus based EMS. Consult the Web site for the most current list of member
exclusive benefits including discounts from Common Cents EMS Supply, Allmed's
VAP, Sprint/Nextel, Skyscape Software, JEMS and EMS Magazine. Also, check out
the NCEMSF Store for reduced prices on thousands of items from textbooks to
apparel - purchases through the NCEMSF Store help support the Foundation.

2) Collegiate EMS Week 2009 - NOVEMBER 9-15
Collegiate EMS Week, modeled after National EMS Week, is scheduled for November
9-15, 2009. Take advantage of this opportunity to celebrate campus based EMS
together with all other collegiate corps nationwide. An updated packet filled
with new ideas for activities and publicity will be available online shortly.
Last year's packet may be accessed until then for those wishing to get an even
earlier start on planning.

3) National Collegiate CPR Day - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9
This year to kick off Collegiate EMS Week, NCEMSF is coordinating a National
Collegiate CPR Day. The simple goal is to have as many college students as
possible educated in basic CPR on a single day across all of North America.
Begin planning now! NCEMSF will be alerting the national media and will forward,
through the regional coordinators, additional resources to help accomplish this
monumental goal that stemmed from one of the roundtables at the 2009 National
Conference.

4) Campus Based EMS Public Health Survey
This survey is part of a new set of NCEMSF projects for the new academic year.
It is designed to assess how campus based EMS organizations currently
participate in public health and preventative health initiatives on their
respective campuses. The information collected from this survey will be used to
further advocate for campus based EMS and plan for future NCEMSF programming.

Please assist us and complete this extremely brief survey online today (the
survey takes 1 minute)! Thank you.

Conference will be held February 26-28, 2010 in the Heart of Charm City’s Inner
Harbor (Baltimore). New attractions and programs are planned. Save the date and

6) NCEMSF Online - NCEMSForum/Facebook - NCEMSF Resource Guide
The NCEMSForum provides official online venue for collegiate EMS communication.
More sophisticated, searchable and ultimately more user-friendly than the NCEMSF
Facebook Wall or general-L listserv, NCEMSForum.org adds to the available
resources NCEMSF offers and further enables collegiate EMS providers to remain
in contact with one another throughout the year. See the NCEMSF Web site for
further details. Log on today and start chatting with your fellow collegiate EMS
providers!

Topics currently being discussed include the H1N1 pandemic, disaster
preparedness and training strategies for new members.

yourself working with the NCEMSF Board. As always, there are multiple
opportunities to get involved with various committees and initiatives.
