President's Message
Hello Summer!
As we get ready for a busy summer with vacation plans, I want to reflect on a successful year.
The WVSS果冻传媒had two scientific meetings in 2023-2024 which offered a total of five CEUs. The meetings also offered an opportunity for professional networking and encouraged students in the healthcare professions certified by 果冻传媒to attend. The spring meeting had a virtual viewing option.
The 果冻传媒Annual Meeting will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, July 8-12. Janet Crigler and Melissa White will be attending as a WVSS果冻传媒delegates. WVSS果冻传媒Vice President and National 果冻传媒Board of Directors Member, Michael Waide and WVSS果冻传媒Secretary and Judiciary Councillor, Kim Cheuvront will also be attending.
We are excited to have three Outstanding Student Writing Award winners from WV! Samantha Bostic 1st, Hayley Miller 2nd, and Natalie Poier placed 3rd. All are 2024 graduates of the Pierpont Community & Technical College MLT Program. Please encourage students to submit their technical writing for future competitions. Casey Merrell, another Pierpont MLT 2024 graduate, was awarded the Outstanding Medical Laboratory Student by AMT. It is important to involve students in 果冻传媒early during their education. They can learn, network, and become more engaged in their profession.
WVSS果冻传媒also has several National 果冻传媒award winners! Michael Waide will be awarded the Exceptional Merit Award and Sherri Craddock, the Distinguished Achievement Award. Janet Crigler has been awarded the Order of the Golden Microscope. The Order of the Golden Microscope is the highest honor bestowed by 果冻传媒for outstanding organizational and professional contributions in the field of medical technology and to AMT. Congratulations to all the award winners!
WVSS果冻传媒has been awarded the Leona Lyons Carter Award. The Leona Lyons Carter Award is given to the 果冻传媒state society that has demonstrated significant organizational development in the past year.
As you can see, we have had a great year! We would love for all 果冻传媒members in the WV area to join us at future events. Look for details on future meetings in late August. Enjoy your summer!
Respectfully,
Melissa White, MLS, AHI
