PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Iowa AMT members,
We had a very good meeting in Marshalltown. Present were Tammy DIckinson, Fred, Witt, Shari Lentz-Buell, Pat Hite, Editor, Jemm Fos, and myself, Ginny Schuerman.
Minutes were read and adjusted to reflect that Fred Witt is now the State Secretary. Thank-you Fred. They were then approved. Treasurer’s Report was given and approved. We elected Peggy Smith as a delegate to national convention in Providence , Rhode Island this summer. No one else felt that they were able to attend. Time and money are always an issue, expecially when it is held at the coast. We would all love to go, however.
Next on the agenda was the business of setting the fall meeting place and date. It will be held in Iowa City, Iowa on September 20th. We plan to start early at 8 am and try to be done early after lunch. We listened to what members wanted for ceu’s and will try to comply. Topics will be MRSA, histoplasmosis, phlebotomy, and a round table discussion. They are topics that affect all of our disciplines, whether you work in a hospital lab, clinic, or doctors office. We do need to have as many attend as possible. Speakers are always much easier to get if we know that there will be a number attend. Four (4) ceu’s for $15.00 is a bargain!!! Remember that if you are new to AMT, you will need to acquire ceu’s in order to keep up you membership. Membership usually translates into dollars. So, you need us, and we need you!!
We also set the next board meeting for the last Wednesday in March of 2009 to be held at the Amana Holiday Inn on Interstate 80 at exit 225. Everyone is welcome.
President Iowa AMT
Virginia Schuerman
