Full Description
National Emergency Management Advanced Academy (NEMAA) Overview

Program Description:
The National Emergency Management Advanced Academy is a component of the Emergency Management Professional Program (EMPP).
NEMAA reinforces the qualities needed to lead Emergency Management (EM) programs by exploring relevant management theories and concepts and uses case studies to enhance EM skill sets. NEMAA participants work within a collaborative environment on projects and establish a network of peers.

NEMAA is designed for mid-level managers/professionals with a background and experience in an EM position who want to advance their careers. Participants gain the knowledge critical to EM responsibilities, such as program management and oversight, effective communication at all levels, integrated collaboration, and strategic thinking.

NEMAA provides participants the opportunity to demonstrate their critical thinking ability through a guided NEMAA paper. Participants apply the key learning concepts from the NEMAA curriculum relative to their own experiences, challenges within their organizations, and within their own contemporary community environments.  Maximum enrollment: 30.

Target Audience:
NEMAA is designed for EM professionals with a background and experience serving in an organization or having a significant role connected to the profession of EM, such as: state, local, tribal, territorial, military, Federal, and consortium EM agencies or with an organization in an associated field, such as: public health, higher education, medical, and private sector organizations.
