Red, Black and
Grey
Surrey Search and Rescue volunteers come from all over the Metro
Vancouver region. With "day jobs" ranging from emergency services to
municipal government to nursing to construction, our volunteers
bring a wealth of specialized experience to the society, acting as
searchers first and non-profit support staff second. Members range
in age from 19 years of age to over 70 and serve in one of 4 capacities:
- Active Member (certified, on-call
searcher)
- Member-in-Training (recruit currently
in training to become an active member)
- Associate Member (member called upon as
needed or to provide specialized support)
- Radio Operator (active member serving
primarily in field radio operations)
Senior Membership
Senior search and rescue personnel serve in management and
supervisory positions as Ground Search Team Leaders and Search
Managers. SSAR is overseen by an elected Board of Directors who meet
monthly to address the governance of the Society. Board
positions include: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Training Officer, Equipment Officer, Communications Officer and Media Liaison.
