“This strategic plan represents the next steps this association needs to take to really assert itself within the industry as the voice for EMTs and paramedics,” said NAEMT President Jerry Johnston. “This is the first time the leadership of NAEMT has directly incorporated input from our membership into our strategic plan, and that input was invaluable.”

“We look forward to continued growth,” Johnston added. “This plan helps provide the roadmap for that growth. We will build our annual business plans and operating budgets based on our strategic plan.”

Here is the plan in its entirety:
