MEMSA welcomes Marcia Krech, administrative assistant, to the MEMSA team.  Marcia is a retired high school teacher of 30 plus years who first came to us in September of 2007 through a temporary employment agency.  In January, the MEMSA board voted to hire Marcia on a full-time basis.  

 

Marcia brings much needed skills to the table including superior organizational and communication experience, as well as computer program and website building knowledge – a great fit for MEMSA’s statewide and web communications needs.

“While I was ready to retire from teaching,” says Marcia, “I am by no means ready to retire from life.  I have a strong desire to make a difference and to use my abilities to help a much needed organization like MEMSA.

“The honorable work and services provided by the EMS community has made for a wonderful experience so far.  I feel as though I get to work with and support heroes who could be needed at a moment’s notice by any of us.”

While Marcia is involved on a number of administrative levels, one of her most important tasks is coordinating the registration of EMT and paramedic trainees for practical exams all over the state.  This includes both individual and organizational members.

Michigan-born, Marcia obtained her teaching degree from the University of Minnesota.  She and her husband Warren moved to Missouri in 1984.  Warren is a morning talk show host heard on Jefferson City’s KWOS 950 AM.  The program is a local news/talk format and covers local and statewide politics and a host of other issues.  

Marcia has two children, Ben and Sarah, who live in Washington, D.C., and Missouri respectively.  Ben is a senior producer for XM Satellite Radio and Sarah, newly married, works for the Lockton Insurance Company in St. Louis.

One of Marcia’s favorite hobbies is gardening.  With a goal to become a Master Gardener, Marcia continues to build her very own English Garden year after year at her home.
