Fitch & Associates wishes to recognize and congratulate the graduates of the 2021 Fall Ambulance Service Manager (ASM) program.
Twenty-nine EMS professionals from across the nation recently completed the blended learning program in Jacksonville, Florida, which included online learning and two weeks in a traditional classroom setting. Students were engaged in a rigorous curriculum designed to develop and enhance the skills of today’s effective EMS leader. Attendees gained insight and practical knowledge from Jerry Overton, Frank Gresh, Jay Fitch, PhD, Anthony Minge, EdD, Thomas Moore, Todd Sheridan, Hannah Fitch, Jim Lanier and other experienced EMS industry leaders.
Each ASM class recognizes one student with a leadership award. The honor is bestowed upon them by their peers. The award is presented to a classmate whom the students feel has exhibited exceptional personal and professional leadership qualities throughout the course and who the students feel represents the best in EMS. The Fall 2021 ASM leadership award was presented to Jeff Tabor of Metropolitan EMS located in Little Rock, Arkansas. Tabor has been with MEMS for 22 years and served as program director for the past 12 years.
“ASM was a great opportunity to invest and grow in numerous areas of leadership, professional and self-development. The networking with my classmates and ASM faculty solidified confidence and is a true example of leadership development that our industry needs!” said Tabor.
The Fall 2021 ASM leadership award is named in honor of David Nelson, Dmin. Nelson has been an onsite coordinator for ASM for more than two decades. He is widely known for his work in creating and nurturing strong teams, celebrating and assisting organizational evolution, and identifying and building excellent leaders.
Graduates will be recognized at the Pinnacle Leadership Conference in Marco Island, Florida, July 25-29, 2022.
