NAACLS Elections Held
by Olive M. Kimball, EdD, PhD
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 as well as the Board, nominees were, over all, very active NAACLS site visitors and paper reviewers with long histories of service.

Board of Directors
Elected to the Board of Directors to serve a second term as Four-Year Educator was David D. Gale, PhD. Dr. Gale is Dean of Allied Health and Nursing, Eastern Kentucky University. Elected to serve a second term as CLT/MLT Educator was Lucille Contois, MA, MT (ASCP), CLS(NCA). Ms. Contois is Director of the CLS Department at Northern Michigan University in Marquette.

Programs Approval Review Committee
Elected to the Programs Approval Review Committee (PARC) as Member-at-Large was Suzanne Campbell, MS, MT (ASCP). She is the CLT/MLT Program Director at Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kansas.

Clinical Laboratory Science Programs Review Committee
Elected to serve as CLT/MLT Educator on the CLSPRC was Yasmen Simonian, PhD, CLS(NCA). She is CLS/MT and CLT/MLT Program Director at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.

Three individuals were elected to an additional four-year term on the Clinical Laboratory Sciences Programs Review Committee (CLSPRC). They were:
