CEO's Corner NAACLS Elections Held by Olive M. Kimball, PhD, EdD NAACLS Chief Executive Officer

In April the NAACLS Board of Directors held the annual election for Board and review committee positions. Nominations were solicited by mail and via the Internet as well as in the NAACLS News. In creating a slate of nominees to recommend to the Board, the Nominations Committee found it difficult to make selections from a pool of highly qualified individuals. For the committees, the nominees were, over all, very active NAACLS site visitors and paper reviewers.

Elected to the Board of Directors as a Laboratory Administrator Representative for ASCLS was Cheryl Caskey, MA, MT(ASCP), CLS(NCA), SBB(ASCP), SI(NCA). Ms. Caskey is Laboratory Director at the Powell Medical Center Clinic Laboratory in Shreveport, Louisiana. She is a Past President of ASCLS.

Lorna Peterson, Lucille Contois, Betty Dunn and Joeline Davidson served on the Nominations Committee this year. New committee members will be guests of the Board in July when they will participate in an orientation session and observe committee meetings. Their term begins on July 14, 2002. The new Board member will be oriented at the September meeting.

We extend sincere thanks to all volunteers placed in nomination. Nominees who were not elected are encouraged to volunteer for the committees again in the future and to continue to serve as site visitors and paper reviewers. It is the spirit and commitment of NAACLS volunteers that makes possible the process of peer evaluation/program accreditation.
