Committees
EMS Advisory Board committees are formed to address specific issues and develop
recommendations on EMS-related topics. All voting members are appointed by the Board and
attend meetings the first Tuesday of the month in conjunction with the regular Board
meetings. As with all Board meetings, members of the public are encouraged to attend.
All
persons interested in serving on a standing committee should submit their resume, along
with letter of interest to Helen Pullen at helen.pullen@wisconsin.gov
