The CGEMC Board was established in 2021 to recommend Coast Guard personnel who have demonstrated the highest levels of expertise and proficiency in the field of Emergency Management (EM) for a credential. This credential is a cornerstone effort designed to advance crisis leadership skills within the Coast Guard by promoting the principles of EM. The CGEMC is available to any active duty (officer or enlisted), civilian, reserve (officer or enlisted), or auxiliary member who meets the training, experience, and test criteria, regardless of specialty or assigned duty station/position. The CGEMC Board was modeled after the ICS Competency Review process. 3. The June 2021 Board was the first CGEMC Board. Members were chosen based on, among other criteria, their current possession of a Certified Emergency Management (CEM) Credential issued by the International Association of Emergency Managers(IAEM) or other comparable agency. CG members who hold a valid CEM from IAEM or other comparable agency are awarded a CGEMC, once applied for, IAW REF (B). Members for future boards will hold the CGEMC. The June 2021 Board reviewed 53 applications resulting in 50 credentials recommended, of the 53, 39 were CEM or other comparable agency credential holders. 4.
