🌟 Member Spotlight: Michael Schlechter🌟
This month we are proud to highlight Michael Schlechter as our member spotlight. Chief Schlechter has been with Weston EMS for 23 years and has been an EMT for more than 30 years. During his time with the department, he has served as Training Officer for 11 years and is approaching 10 years as Chief. It’s nearly impossible to count all the hours and calls he’s dedicated to Weston EMS over the years, but there have been many, many hours.
When asked about his proudest accomplishment, he reflects on the growth and consistency Weston EMS has achieved in its people and organization. The department’s recognition as the 2023 Volunteer Agency of the Year was a particular highlight.
Outside of EMS, Michael is an avid skier, cyclist, and hobbyist woodworker. He also owns a private aviation detailing firm and, with all his free time, has recently taken up flying!
After starting in EMS as a teenager, he has seen a lot of changes over the years. Today, one of his favorite parts of volunteering is getting to go on calls with his sons, Josh and Eli, who are both EMTs with Weston EMS.
We are incredibly grateful for the decades of service, leadership, and commitment to Weston EMS. His dedication has helped shape our department and the people who serve in it. Thank you, Chief, for everything you have given to our community and department.
