Dear Sergeant Major Thomas,

Save A Life Foundation (SALF) is extending to you this invitation to participate on tJie First

increase the effectiveness of this course.

While other First Responder curricula exist, they are specifically targeted at an older, more

skills, encourage their participation in local Citizen Corps. Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), and to consider careers in healthcare, law
enforcement and emergency preparedness. With these goals and target audience in mind, 5ALF
must ensure that the new curriculum meets the requirements put forth in the First Responder
National Standard Curriculum, as published by the United States Department of Transportation.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That's where you come in.

We are asking for your critique of various sections of the textbook, which correspond with your
area of expertise. Attention to detail will be needed. You will be asked to judge the content.
context, and accuracy of text. When weaknesses are found we asK you to offer suggestions for
improvement.

your day, so we have tailored our request on your time to just a few hours Please return to me
your acceptance or regrets in writing via email or fax by April 27. 2007.

Dear Sgt. Major Thomas,

1 would like to personally thank you for accepting thi.s unique challenge that will benefit
and encourage our youth towards a career in health care. This is the first time focus will
be place on students 15-18 years of age to become nationally certified as a "first
Responder". equipped with skills to assist current certified EMS professionals in a lime
of need, while acquiring the new National Incident Management certificate which is now
required by many employers,

As you may be aware the failure rate for a first time EMS student to pass their national
examination is 73%. By introducing a high school student to the academies of this "First
Responder" course, they will have a greater understanding of the intensity placed
on EMS prior to pursuing any advance medical career, or realise EMS may not be a
good career chose. Never the less, they will be armed with vital skills for what ever
career they may pursue.

Our invitation to serve on this committee was not chosen randomly. You were chosen
because we value your expertise and your enthusiasm to prepare our youth towards a
career in healthcare, especially EMS, and saving lives.

Thank you again for your support
