The Certified Fire and Ambulance Board of Directors Training course provides the training and education required by Missouri law for ambulance and fire protection district board members elected after January 1, 2008.

The Missouri Ambulance Association and the Missouri Association of Fire Protection Districts developed the curriculum (approved by the State Advisory Council on EMS and the Missouri Division of Fire Safety) to assist board members in understanding the legal liabilities and personal obligations of their position—Treasurers, Secretaries, attorneys, accountants, and chief officers are also encouraged to attend.

Topics include: authority; roles, duties, responsibilities; rules and laws; elections; ethics; Sunshine Law; setting tax rates; and conducting meetings.
