Mission

The IAEM-USA Standards & Practices Committee was formed to assist IAEM-USA with responding to the many requests the organization receives for participation in various standards and practices efforts across the United States. As envisioned, the committee will hopefully serve the organization in two broad ways:

• Through awareness of the many efforts that exist or are underway, wisely help in the prioritization of IAEM’s involvement.
• Keep the IAEM membership informed of the progress and value of endeavors beneficial to the profession.
