Statement of Philosophy
As medical laboratory science professionals, we are the “Voice, Value, and Vision” of the profession. As candidate for Region II Director, my goals encompass this philosophy. We are the “voice,” the cornerstone to actuating the “value” and “vision” of our profession. I believe that our “voice” is effectively heard through professional membership and expanding roles on the healthcare team. MY goals include collaborating with Region II professionals and ASCLS national leadership to develop focused strategies to increase our “voice” through increased membership. Increased membership can foster the important concepts of professionalism, collegial networking, and unified representation of the profession, by the profession, for the profession. A strong “voice” represented by increased ASCLS membership can lead to enhanced awareness among healthcare colleagues and the public, of the “value” MLS/MLTs contribute to patient care. One ASCLS “vision” is to expand our role as members of the interprofessional healthcare team through a new career path, the DCLS. My second goal will be to continue this vision through promotion of this advanced practitioner. As Region II Director I will strive to foster unification of our colleagues through membership, and thus become the one “voice” that will promote the “value” and “visions” of the profession.
