2001-2002 scholarship AwardeeS
 

In 2000, following the very first IAEM Scholarship Program auction (which raised more than $7,000 for scholarships), Bob Durgin, CEM, donated $500 to the fledgling IAEM Scholarship Fund. The IAEM Board approved a $500 scholarship to be awarded in 2001. This very first IAEM scholarship was named the 2001 IAEM Durgin Scholarship Award.

The IAEM Scholarship Commission awarded the $500 2001 IAEM Durgin Scholarship to Jamie Moore, a student at the University of North Texas, for the 2001-2002 school year. Moore is a full time student majoring in emergency administration and planning. His graduation is planned for December 2001.

Moore was a paramedic for six years prior to exploring the field of emergency management in college. While a student, he has been an
intern for one year for the City of Plano, Texas. During that time, he
helped develop a hazard and vulnerability analysis to help the
community better identify particular hazard agents. He also
helped secure a $300,000 WMD Grant to provide training and
equipment to first responders. 

Along with Jamie’s academic studies, he participates in the Denton and Collin County LEPCs. He also gained educational experience by co-writing a research paper with Dr. David McEntire, the Emergency Administration and Planning Coordinator for the University of North Texas. Jamie is a member of the Emergency Management Association of Texas, IAEM, IEMSA, and the Tau Sigma Honor Society.
