Advocacy
The North Dakota EMS Association strongly believes in being "the advocate" for EMS providers and EMS agencies alike in North Dakota. We have been a voice for ND EMS since 1976 and we've had significant advocacy efforts since the 2005 legislative session. Even though our citizen legislature meets only every two years, our advocacy committee is active year-round identifying rule changes and other impacts to EMS. Important News |

How You Can Help
Do you have a passion for EMS and want to make an impact on North Dakota EMS? Here are a few of the methods you can use to become involved:
- CONNECT:
Contact the advocacy committee to see how you can get involved. - REACH OUT:
Frequently email or visit with your legislator on specific issues. Grassroots efforts are key to moving bills forward and making sure your local legisalators are informed about EMS issues! Find your legislators here. - STAY INFORMED AND SUPPORT EMS:
Quite simply - stay informed and educated on the issues. One of the greatest challenges arises when a legislator meets with constituents but lacks an understanding of EMS needs. A simple way to stay informed is through membership in the North Dakota EMS Association. Become a member today. - TESTIFY:
There may be opportunities for you to testify during the Legislative Session. Hearing testimony from someone who has experienced issues first hand, can have a greater impact on some bills. Reach out to the legislative committee if you are interested. - GET OTHERS INVOLVED:
Great leaders are those who inspire others to become involved!
