Rod Robinson
Rod was the South West Region Board Member for so many, many
years when tried to figure out how many
years we couldn’t count. Your service was dedicated and generous
of time, mind and wisdom. Rod served as Committee Chair for
many, many years and saw our conference move from the Marriott
Hotel ballroom to the Polk County Convention Center - and most
recently to the new Iowa Events Center. His years of experience
in the registration area have been a valuable resource to our
conference success.
Rod has agreed to stay active by volunteering to be the IEMSA
Representative to the new DMAT Advisory Group. Thank you for
your both the years of time and resources you gave to your
fellow members and EMS providers across the state and for your
continued efforts on this Advisory Group.
Thanks again Rod! We’ll miss you.
Thomas
Craighton
Thomas also served his fellow EMS Providers as Board Member and
Legislative Chair for IEMSA for many, many
years. He dedicated many, many miles behind the wheel traveling
back and forth between the captiol building and his home,
talking to anyone in the house that would listen. He was your
voice on the hill for many, many years and brought us all the
way to where we are today - as outlined in detail in the
legislative update article.
Thank you for your generous, always passionate and dedicated
service to our professional community. Your impact has had a
long lasting ripple effect. We wish you well in your new
endeavors as the EMA Coordinator for Franklin County. They are
lucky to have you.
John Hill
John served two terms as our president and 1 1/2 terms as
Immediate-past president. John had to resign
his position this year when his family took him out of state. We
appreciate his many years of service, and his continued support
by traveling back to Iowa to help with the Annual Conference
this year in November.
