The amendment reads the indivigual must attened 60% of schudualded meetings and attempt to respond to 40% af all calls. In Addition to being 21 and an EMT. To be eligiable to run for chief officer

Answer 1

Any organization may set rules that are not in conflict with local, state or federal laws.

The rules sounds reasonable for a Vol Amb Corps to set 'professional' requirements and minimum age and service commitments. If few members make anywhere near 40% of 'calls' then I'd lower the number. (E.g., if only one or two members meet the 40% or more level, this is too restrictive.)
