New Board Chair effective January 1, 2011

In early November, approaching the end of my third term and tenth year as Chairman of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba, I informed members that I would not be seeking re-election.  Subsequently  the  Association  has  a  newly  acclaimed  Chair,  Ms.  Jodi  Possia, who  will  assume  the  responsibilities  of  that  role  on  January  1,  2011.  Jodi  is  currently  a Winnipeg EMS Advanced-Care Paramedic and an instructor on the Red River College PCP faculty. She has experience in both rural and urban EMS and is also a past-Director of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba.


I am very proud of what our Association has accomplished in this past decade. Growing from  a  voluntary  membership  of  350  practitioners  in  2001  to  nearly  1000  today,  the Paramedic  Association  of  Manitoba  has  been  a  leader  in  advocating  for  excellence  in patient care and our profession. During that time, there have been significant advances in service  delivery,  education  and  professional  development,  and  paramedics  have  had  a strong voice in related decisions through the Association. I’m confident that relationships we’ve developed and the reputation we have earned will continue to serve the profession and our patients well in coming years.
Looking forward, I believe new energy, new blood and new initiatives are vitally important to the continued success of our Association and the profession. I join Paramedics across Manitoba  in  welcoming  Jodi  as  the  newly  elected  Association  Chair  and  look  forward  to working with her in the leadership transition over the next few weeks.
Effective  January  1, 2011  Jodi  Possia  can  be  contacted  by  phone  at  204.775.8482  and email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
On a personal note, it has been my pleasure to meet, talk and work with each of you in my tenure as Chairman of the Paramedic Association of Manitoba. I am very grateful for the opportunities you have offered to me, our Association and this profession...your guidance, understanding and professional support are truly appreciated.
