On behalf of the Illinois State Ambulance Association (ISAA) leadership, we are pleased to invite you

2018 ISAA Annual Conference dates are Tuesday, September 25th and Wednesday, September 26th.

As in years past, this year’s Conference has been planned considering the feedback from pervious

Conference participants. The Conference’s educational program will begin on 1pm on Tuesday and

conclude at 3pm on Wednesday. The Conference will provide the opportunity to earn six hours and

forty five minutes (6:45) of National Academy of Ambulance Compliance (NAAC) continuing education

This Annual Conference was developed to provide you the opportunity to connect with peers and

gain valuable information regarding the current issues impacting the Illinois ambulance industry. The

Conference program was developed to offer valuable learning opportunities which can be put to use

in the daily administrative operations of your ambulance service.

We look forward to seeing you in September,
