If you are not a member, please tell us what we can do, offer, or change, to gain your 29.membership.

1 More information, please. 2 Lower membership dues. As an entry level employee in EMD, I can't afford your dues, although I feel membership in a proffessional organization is very important. 3 Offer local government (greatly!-) reduced rates, please! Already so overburdened with TONS of ever-more unfunded mandates, especially in EM, that funds for "unneeded" memberships are rare. Sorry, but truth as it stands now. 4 When people with basket weaving degrees stop acting as imposters with these letters after their names. (credentials?) I took the sample tests from one of these groups and it was a joke. Anyone who struggles with these questions has no business calling themselves an Emergency Manager. The continuing education requirements are just a profit scam. It is idiots teaching idiots who just got suckered out of money. I could go on, but this is a waste of my time. 5 Stop making it so hard for people who left government work to continue qualifing for the CEM program. Question 20, 21, 23 should have a N/A option - not all work for governments - unless you mean the population of the place that you live - which I doubt. 6 Push for Cities to be allowed in the EMPG Program...Oregon currently limits funds to Counties. Our city is the size of most counties!!! 7 NOte: I will be retiring from government service on 01 May and will not be able to afford continuing as a CEM and likely will drop out of IAEM as well. 8 No place else to disagree with #24 -- I have a BA degree and some MA work. There is no profound need for BS -- it's what you do with your degree, your experience & passion that count. Degrees are only part of ticket-punching process. 9 Nothing I just have to sign up for membership and get approval from my company for reinbursement 10 Financial assistance and place equivalent value for experience as education requirements for membership. 11 Need to apply, just haven't done it. 12 This survey should have a COMMENT section: Continuing Education Credit should be a professional requirement. 13 Nothing but for clarification #22 I am an Office in the City Manager's/Mayor's Office. 14 I have not taken the time and have not been able to justify the expense to my wife. 15 I will be a member in a near future 16 Currently browsing for more information. 17 Send me information please. El Dorado Irrigation District Attn:Ron Kilburg 2890 Mosquito Rd. Placerville, CA 95667 18 I attempted, on the net, to join yesterday (1-25). But I received no acknowledgement that it was accepted. 19 re. question 24: Continued federal / state funding is most important to this position's future. Without which, it will vanish. 20 Some recognition that oftentimes hands on experience will win out over credentials especially when dealing with an all volunteer situation in a township of this size... 16,000 residents. 21 Make it Free 22 I have an Advanced Certification in EM from my state. Why arent those recripocal for CEM? 23 It doesn't seem to be worth the expense 24 Send me details on the membership application. 25 I am on the list server, I do not have a huge budget however if we had a annual meeting within Australia of all the members I think we would benifit. 26 I am a member. I served as the EM Director in Collier County, Florida from Oct 87 to Jul, 2003. I volunteer at the local EM agency. I was a CEM from 1995 thru 2004 but let it expire since I am now retired. I am currently a FEMA DAE employee with duty on the Hurricane Liason Team. I have been a member of IAEM since 1987. 27 I read the list almost every day. I have a library of files saved by subject matter. I can't afford your dues or out of state conferences. As my program matures I will participate later. 28 Make it free. 29 I am in the process of applying 30 ALREADY A MEMBER GREAT ORGANIZATION 31 Based on Q13 none of the answers to the mandaroty questions 14 and 15 are applicable (likewise 20 and 23) 32 I feel that I am too remote. I can not attend any of the activities but I do find the list to be interesting. 33 Put term limits on Board of Directors to allow others to serve and bring new ideas to the table. 34 N/A 35 NA 36 Planning to join soon -- it was a question of finances after a period of unemployment. 37 LIFE MEMBER 38 Plan to join within a couple of weeks. 39 No comments 40 Decrease the annual fee 41 Please make an offer! 42 I just have to get the membership started. 43 Lower the membership fees. 44 sorry, but I wanted to clarify that I am the program director of a Master's degree in emergency management, so my responses and organizational structure represent that. We are part of the overall MPA program, although all of our courses are taught from the emergency management perspective. 45 Haven't been asked about it, as in Uk? Enjoy using the iaem-list, though. 46 I need more information 47 realy just found out about you and I'm going to try to swing the membership fee in my next budget 48 My discipline within Emergency Management is Communications/Press/Public Education. It seems like IAEM is focused so heavily on the discipline of EM, ICS and other areas that aren't part of what I do on a daily basis. I don't see a benefit to membership because there are enough in-house experts when I need to learn more about the discipline of Emergency Management. I would be more interested in learning from peers in my specialization how they conduct outreach to the public and measure their success. 49 THERE IS NO ACK OF RETIRED OR OTHERWISE NON-FULL TIME CONTRIBUTORS TO THE PROF. THO NO LONGER FULL TIME PD I CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVE IN LOCAL PROG AND OFTEN SERVE AS REP OF THE PROG TO RESPOND TO SURVEYS SUCH AS THIS. 50 Since I am part-time (my boss does not pay the dues)I do not have the financial resources to pay expensive dues. Perhaps another dues category equal to student dues. 51 Very US focussed, and essentially am already in 3 organisations, and am not sure the effort is worth the 4th! 52 Increase in pay, paid staff, and a bigger budget. 53 Jurisdiction will only support 1 membership--that of my boss (EMC) 54 The primary restriction is the cost. The secondary consideration is that few EMAs in our area consider it important to doing the job. 55 Make membership affordable for Volunteers 56 The cost of membership is high for someone who has other membership obligations for other parts of their career. 57 Just need to get the time to go through the application process 58 I don't know how to answer that question. 59 We need to better include healthcare in the mix. Also, work with JCAHO to bring more healthcare people into membership. 60 N/A 61 Just a note. I was full-time for 15 years and then took retirement Oct 1, 2002. I was asked to stay on as a casual employee to help with EM projects. My full time salary was >$80,000 annual plus benefits. Now, I am paid by the hour and limited to 1000 hours per year. The nunbers in 16-19 are for our entire staff, not just emergency management. There is one full-time EM and then there is me, less than part time. 62 I don't want to answer some of the questions so I picked incorrect answers. Several of the questions assume no EM types work in private industry so NA answers would have been relevent 63 I am in the process right know of filling out the application and building the credits for same 64 question 28 is not correct it saids IF instead of IN sorrry 65 I would like to but due to salary amount I earn I could not afford 66 I WILL JOIN IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS. 67 Just finding out about the organization, will research the org and decide. 68 I will look into it and see what membership costs are and the benifit of belonging. 69 Make if free or lower priced for Federal Government/military personnel. 70 I have a BA (hons.) and MA in Emergency Management, plus over 15 yrs experience doing this as a full time job. There is too much focus on IT and various levels of gvt, even this survey doesn't give a good idea of my situation. I am here from Canada on a federal Dept. of Ed grant to update all the school emergency and crisis management plans. It is an 18 month grant funded position with a $225,000 budget....but I struggle to work alone as there is no emergency management dept in the school district. I was one of the first people in Canada to get DRIE certification (#742) yet the renewal process was so onerous, and so focused to keeping track of hours, and so IT focussed that I never bothered to reapply. I know people who are CEM who have significantly less experience than I do, yet hang their experience on the certification. 71 Please provide further information. 72 Publish a list of members so I can find a sponsor. 73 I was unware of the organization. 74 Make CEM relative what an EM is expected to do: Prepare, Respond, Recover and Mitiage. I fail to see how being published and public speaking and demonstrating networking time with an organization outside of your employing agency alone, demonstrates capability to do the EM job. Exposure to the career field, along with vigorous EM Coursework [FEMA, DHS, State level] followed by valdating exercises, along with the networking necessary for an effective program AND real life "activated" experience all are necessary to be truly "Professional AND Prepared. 75 I am not a member because of the cost. It's not a large amount, however, my county won't pay it due to budget cuts and I'm not able to pay it on my own. 76 The cost of membership is prohibitive. 77 Keep membership rates the same or lower the rates. If a student please include those that are pursing master's and doctorate degrees. Maybe even exempt them from completion of certain items. 78 I am going to join, in order to take the exam and in anticipation of obtaining the CEM, this will be a benefit for me. 79 Cost is too high, CEM not seen as career enhancing too much resistance from local EM personnel--Not currently in EM; want to be but cannot due to current resistance from local EM personnel 80 I will join upon graduating and securing a full time position within the EM field. 81 I was actually on the site to find out what I need to do to join. 82 ACTUAL EXPERIENCE VS COLLEGE DEGREE 83 Pay my dues. 84 I am currently a student member. 85 I just submitted my application 86 Will be joining shortly
