[Guest guest]

Interested in serving on a GETAC committee? You have until September 30 to get

your application in to DSHS. Committee members serve three-year terms. The

application form can be downloaded from the News/Features column of the DSHS

Office of EMS/Trauma Systems Coordination website:

http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/emstraumasystems/

* Applications (via standard mail, fax, or email) are due in the Office by

September 30. Due to tight timelines, applications received after that time will

not be reviewed or considered.

* Committees are made up of 11 members. Committee appointments are open to

people seeking either re-appointment or initial appointment.

* OEMS/TS will work with Chair Vance Riley and the GETAC committee chairs to

coordinate the selection process.

*The announcement of new and/or re-appointed committee members will be made in

November. New committee members will meet with the committee for the first time

at the February GETAC meetings.

*Please use the mailing address, email address or fax number printed on the

application to make sure we receive the application.

NOTE: If your appointment to a committee expires in 2011, you MUST reapply to
