IAEM Oceania

On June 16, Steve Glassey, New Zealand Representative of the Oceania Region of the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) became the second person in the Oceania Region to achieve the Certified Emergency Manager® credential (CEM®). The CEM® designation is the highest honour of professional achievement available from the IAEM and has been issued to 1,207 individuals around the world over the last 15 years. CEM® is held by individuals in Africa, Europe, the Americas, Asia and now Oceania making it a truly international credential.

February 21, 2008 (Falls Church, Va.) The International Association of Emergency Manager (IAEM) Board of Directors voted to eliminate the enrollment fee that used to be required before making the application available for the Certified Emergency Manager® (CEM®) program. This move allows anyone to download the CEM® application booklet electronically without first paying an enrollment fee.

The inaugural meeting of the Oceania International Association of Emergency Managers Professional Development Sub-Committee was hosted at Heathcote, Victoria, Australia over the weekend.
