CEMA Certification

CEMA Certification Committee in Action :

The Certification Committee is dedicated to reaching its goals of strengthening Colorado’s emergency management professionals. By raising the bar and encouraging academic achievement and professional contributions, we as individuals and as a state are moving forward in our training and education.

This action-oriented committee is objective driven and is determined to provide top-notch service to the CEMA membership. The Certification Committee accomplished five out of six of the 2005-06 objectives, which included an overhaul of the certification program’s standards and establishing recertification guidelines.

The certification membership goals and objectives for the ’07-’08 terms include:

• Develop a certification policy for emergency management volunteers and private sector partners.
• Develop a workshop/seminar for mentoring emergency managers through state certification and into IAEM’s CEM program.
• Develop liaison with IAEM partners for bettering the relationship.
• Increase Certification by 25%.
