Clarification / Correction on IRV’s comment. The State SAR
Coordinators have been meeting annually with feds and others for many years, with
NASAR www.nasar.org providing the conference
meeting space and encouraging participation. As of May 2009 this evolved to
forming a State SAR Coordinators Council (SSCC) that is nationwide in the USA,
with about 20 states represented and about 20 agency representatives
(FEMA, DHS, NPS, AFRCC, etc.) at the last meeting. The SSCC formed under the
NASAR umbrella so it could immediately have non-profit 501(c)(3) status. This is a *giant* stride for SAR in the USA, with
substantial credit going to Cole Brown (MD SAR Coordinator) for getting the new
council formed. Cole is also the elected Chair of the SSCC, Matt Scharper (CA
SAR Coordinator) is Vice-Chair, and Byron Thompson (LA SAR Coordinator) is
Secretary. - - - - - - Jorene Downs SAR & CERT Mounted SAR From: IRVIN LICHTENSTEIN NASAR is in the certificate
business, and is trying to organize the state and regional SAR coordinators
into a NASAR SIG. |
