Members of the NAEMT Board of Governors elected three members—Don Lundy, Jennifer Frenette and Jim Slattery—to the association’s Board of Directors on October 13. Lundy is a first-time board member, while Frenette and Slattery were re-elected as directors.
Lundy is EMS director for Charleston County EMS in Charleston, South Carolina. With more than 30 years of experience in the EMS field, he has directed large municipal and small rural services, as well as helicopter operations. Lundy also serves as an instructor at the National Fire Academy’s EMS program and is a visiting lecturer for the EMS program at the University of Maryland Baltimore Campus.
Frenette has a 20-year background in EMS as a state training coordinator, a hospital EMS coordinator, a licensed educator and practicing EMT-Intermediate for a rural volunteer EMS service. In 2001, she interfaced EMS with public health by developing the New Hampshire Public Health Network System through a Robert Wood Johnson grant, Turning Point. She continues to combine these talents in EMS and public health, working with the Office of the Surgeon General, USDHHS, Medical Reserve Corps Program
Slattery has been involved in EMS for more than 40 years. In 1982, he helped organize the NAEMT conference hosted in Boston, which was the first conference to show a profit. Slattery is president of the Massachusetts EMT Association and the acting executive director for Southeastern Massachusetts EMS Council.
Lundy, Frenette and Slattery join fellow directors Will Chapleau and Richard Ellis, along with President Jerry Johnston, President-Elect Patrick Moore, Vice President Connie Meyer, Secretary Robert Loftus, Treasurer Edward Sawicki and Immediate Past President Ken Bouvier on the NAEMT Board.
The election of the directors was one of the last official acts by the Board of Governors, which was recently disbanded because of bylaws changes voted on by NAEMT members in August.
