Board of Directors Update


In addition to accreditation and approval awards, the following took place:

  • Effective July 1, 2004 initial programs as well as continuing programs will pay the actual costs for the site visit instead of a flat fee.

  • The Board authorized development of a survey of constituents to assess the services provided. This will follow the guidelines of the last such survey completed in 1997.

  • The Board voted to merge the CLSPRC and PARC committees over the next year. A committee to plan for the merge was appointed.

  • Draft Standards for the Pathologists' Assistant programs were approved for public distribution. They are now on the NAACLS web site.

  • Representatives of the ASCP BOR and NCA provided updates of certification statistics and a general discussion of activities.

  • The president of CLMA addressed the Board and called for laboratory organizations to collaborate and to speak with one voice for enhancement of the professions.

  • The Board revised the NAACLS Strategic plan.

  • A decision was made to convene a Development Committee to consider possible solicitation of contributions to an endowment fund.
