A Message from the President

Hello all,

Some of you are members of MOEMA (Missouri Emergency Management Association) and some of you may even be MOEMA Certified EMDS.

I have been your Region H MOEMA representative for several years.

During the past year, MOEMA lost both its President and Vice-President and has become inactive.

I was asked and was elected to be the Interim President and my good friend and neighboring Platte County Assistant EMD Deputy Mike O’Neal was elected to be Interim Vice-President.

Mike and I met last week to put together this letter outlining that MOEMA is not dead and that MOEMA is starting a new beginning!

After some lengthy conversation, we decided to both accept the President and Vice-President positions.  With our closeness and my schedule, we feel that we can make MOEMA work to represent the EMDs in Missouri.

With Mike’s knowledge of MOEMA and my what-ever, we think we can bring MOEMA back to its prominence!

Please keep us in your prayers as we begin a new year and hopefully a rebirth of MOEMA.

Please check out the new website at missouriema.com and our new Facebook site at Facebook.com/MissouriEMA.  We want you to get

involved and see that we are committed to being a strong voice for all EM’s in the state of Missouri. 

We also will be getting the MOCEM committee back up and running to review and approved MOCEM applications.  If you have had an application in for over six months, we will return you check and have you update your packet. 

So, with that said, we would like to invite you back and please give us feedback on any issue that you have and would want the association to work on.  Your input is important for us to revitalize this association.         

Sincerely, 

Bill Brinton, EMD Buchanan County

Michael O’Neal, Assistant EM Coordinator Platte County
