Gov. Larry Hogan has appointed Clay Stamp, Talbot County’s emergency services director and assistant county manager, as the chairman of the Maryland Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Board. Stamp steps into the chairman role as only the second person to fill the position since Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) was re-established as a separate state agency in 1992. Stamp takes over from Mr. Donald L. DeVries, Jr., Esq., who has served as the chairman since the board’s inception. Stamp is also a senior adviser to Governor Hogan for emergency management and the chairman of the Governor’s Emergency Management Advisory Council.
