STARS OF LIFE 2015
The Oklahoma Ambulance Association is now accepting nominations for the
OKAMA Stars of Life ceremony. Each nominee will be recognized at the Annual
Star of Life Award Banquet to be held April 1 .
At the OKAMA Stars Banquet each star will receive a Star of Life trophy, a Star of
Life pin, and a copy of the video that will be shown during the event.
The nominees will also be considered for an all expense paid trip to Washington
D.C. The chosen nominees will represent Oklahoma at the National Star of Life
ceremony presented by the American Ambulance Association. Two nominees,
one from a rural EMS agency and one from a suburban EMS agency may be
picked by the OKAMA Board to represent Oklahoma and OKAMA.
Eligible nominees include all levels of EMT, billing personnel, dispatchers, and
even medical directors. If you have an employee that has had an outstanding
“save”, goes above and beyond what is required, or maybe just helps to further
the mission of EMS, nominate them.
The nomination will show your employees that you appreciate the things they do
for your agency. It also will show the community what a great service you have
and the dedicated employees that serve them.
Oklahoma Ambulance Association members participate in the Star of Life
program at no charge. Non-member services are encouraged to go to the
website www.okama.org and join. Non-members may also participate, however a
fee will be assessed to cover the cost of the Star’s participation.

why they should receive the Star of Life Award.
OKAMA will present each nominee with a commemorative Star of Life trophy and
lapel pin just for being nominated during the program on April 1, 2015. We also
produce a special DVD power point that will outline the facts you provide on your
nominee, of which a copy will also be provided. We ask that you send us 8 good
quality photographs large size 2-5 mb (at least 2mb) no “selfies”, with the
nomination form. You should consider backgrounds of contrast or action shots of
your nominee doing job related tasks, i.e. checking equipment, taking vitals,
dispatching, looking at maps.
The program is a dress-formal event with coat and tie recommended (or service
dress uniform).
The OKAMA nomination committee will review all applications received by the
February, 2015 deadline date and will make a decision as to which nominees will
receive an all- expense paid trip to Washington, DC where they will represent
Oklahoma at the American Ambulance Association Star of Life ceremony April 1315, 2015.
