In Memory of IMSA Section Leadership
Remembering Joseph Palsa
The Middle Atlantic Section lost a good friend and a true gentleman. Joe served as the Secretary and Treasurer of our section. It was my honor as President a few years ago to have sponsored Joe as a Life Member when he retired from full time working.

Dr. Joe, as many of us called him, was a pleasure to sit down and just talk to about grandkids which he loved, his working as a ham radio operator, and experiences in life. Dr. Joe will be greatly missed by the Middle Atlantic Section and by me personally.

-Michael Licalzi, President of Middle Atlantic IMSA
IMSA News
Welcome 2022 and A Look Back at 2021

As we say goodbye to 2021, we would like to review all IMSA accomplished in 2021. We introduced our Online Certification as an alternative way to continue certification during the pandemic. Additionally, we were able to return to our in-person Forum and Expo in Columbus, finalize, and adopt our strategic plan to benefit you, our members. 2021 brought these accomplishments, changes, and much more.

Entering 2022, our team, volunteers, members, and board are all part of what makes these accomplishments possible. Thank you for contributing to IMSA and bettering public safety education. We hope that IMSA will improve even more in 2022.
