Why We Have EMS Today

Why We Have EMS Today

Howard Meyer is a long-time leader in New Jersey volunteer Emergency Medical Services (EMS). He is the past president of the EMS Council of New Jersey, the country's largest volunteer squad association; and he served as its volunteer legislative director for over 20 years. Since 1971, he has served in leadership roles, including president and chief, in all types of New Jersey environments—rural, suburban, and urban. Meyer will cover key events in the evolution of the EMS volunteer system, highlighting its critical importance, and the challenges now faced by volunteer squads.

The Summit Area Old Guard is a social, educational, and recreational fellowship of active men of retirement age, founded in 1930. We hear presentations most Tuesday mornings in an auditorium in New Providence, and we have many other activities including discussion groups, sports groups, and celebrations. Our dues are minimal, and members volunteer for all aspects of the operation. Our motto is "Come for the programs. Stay for the friends." Guests are always welcome to attend and to learn about our organization.
