Please share these complimentary issues with your emergency management colleagues!


The IAEM Bulletin, the official newsletter of the International Association of Emergency Managers, is published monthly by IAEM to keep members abreast of association news, government actions affecting emergency management, and research and information sources. The Bulletin — which is in its 36th year of continuous publication — is also intended to serve as a way for emergency management colleagues to exchange information on programs and ideas. The members-only IAEM Bulletin, generally 24-40 pages, moved from print to electronic publishing in 2014. Past issues are available in the members-only IAEM Bulletin Archives.

Since I started writing a Disaster Zone column for each edition of the Bulletin, I've been a member. With my renewal notice, they shared the following as benefits of membership. See below:

Besides access to the IAEM Bulletin, the dues paid by members accomplish the following:

• • Delivery of content-rich resources to help you perform your job duties addressing topics such as developing situational awareness and a common operating picture, cybersecurity, climate change, opportunities, and innovations in emergency management.
  • A process to represent emergency management interests in more than 80 related organizations and disciplines that impact our profession. And advocacy with elected and appointed officials whose decisions affect how we accomplish our work.
  • Expanded IAEM engagement and leadership opportunities to help members enrich their professional practice and careers. Delivery of content-rich resources to help you perform your job duties addressing topics such as developing situational awareness and a common operating picture, cybersecurity, climate change, opportunities, and innovations in emergency management.
  This year, we hope to accomplish even more and we can't do it without the engagement of members like you. You are part of a network of women and men in communities and organizations around the world. Even when you don't have time to be personally involved, your dues payment supports the actions of other IAEM members who work for delivery of relevant resources to protect lives and property from disaster. As a member, you make everything we do possible.
  
  Please join our organization for another successful year by renewing your membership today.

• Ah, and then there is the price. If you are member of an agency or other organization that pays the dues — it is probably inconsequential. But for those who pay it themselves ... I always get a bit of sticker shock when I see the cost.
