Goody started volunteering as a site visitor in the early 1990s. She was an assistant program director with the U.T. Southwestern program in Dallas, Texas. Goody was conscientious and always wanted to ensure programs were doing right based on the accreditation standards. She has been a fierce advocate for students and a mentor to other site visitors, demonstrating outstanding communication skills and putting program personnel at ease. Her style was kind and gentle, even when having to inform a program they potentially may not be meeting the accreditation standards.

Dr. Bowers joined the site visitor cadre in 2008, averaging three to four site visits per year before her retirement in 2019. Site visitors and program directors alike appreciated her approach to site visits in which she drove home the need for demonstrating the evidence. One program stated, "Marge was very professional and informative. She was outstanding!"

Dr. McLaughlin started conducting site visits in 2008. Living in a smaller Midwest city, he often required a layover and was willing to travel to any destination. Mike's experience as a program director, an administrator, and his experience as a paramedic and flight paramedic allowed him to evaluate programs with the perspective of a preceptor, an educator, and an administrator.

Although Sandy retired in 2012 from her position as department chair of health sciences, she wanted to continue giving back to education and became a site visitor for the CoAEMSP. One of the many programs she touched had this to say about Sandy: "It's wonderful to see the relationship you have with other educators and how you use your experience to analyze and appropriately criticize specific points of interest. Your vision is much appreciated, and I just think it's rare to find educators willing to help PROMOTE others in our line of duty. And, for that, I say thanks."

Kent Spitler joined the CoAEMSP site visitor cadre in 2015 and averaged three to four site visits each year. As program director at Gaston College in Dallas, North Carolina, Kent was an advocate for EMS accreditation. Program directors consistently stated they appreciated his approach of encouragement and professionalism in his role as a site visitor to their programs. We are saddened that Kent passed away October 5, 2020.

CoAEMSP is stronger because of each of these individuals and their contributions to EMS education and their support of accreditation. Thank you, Marie, Goody, Marge, Mike, and Sandy. Rest in peace, Kent.
