President's Message

 I hope everyone has had a great summer. You will find the program and registration information for our September meeting in the events page of this site. Note the change in location for the meeting. While it will still be held in Macon we will be at the Wingate Inn instead of the Courtyard. The new hotel is located at the same exit off of I 75 so it shouldn't be difficult to find.
Please make every effort to attend this meeting. We will be holding elections for all officers and Board of Directors positions. We will also be having a session presented by the Westwood College (Midtown) medical assisting students. Fore those of you certified after January 1,2006 your continuing education requirement deadline is fast approaching. Make sure to attend this meeting and get your hours. I hope to see you there.

Peggy Oiler,MT
GSSAMT President

The national convention in Providence, RI was a very busy time this year. There was a resolution pertaining to the nominating committee was presented at the Resolutions Committee meeting. The resolution passed and will be forwarded to the AMT Board of Directors for consideration. The Meet The Candidates session provided insight into all the members running for positions on the AMT Board and the AMTIE Board of Trustees.
The AMTIE election was held on Thursday with 167 votes being cast. Linda Jones, MT was elected to the AMTIE Board of Trustees.
At the annual AMT Business meeting on Friday the proposed by-law amendment allowing those holding AHI or CLC credentials but no exam-based AMT certification to be seated as delegates was defeated.
AMT Board elections were held and Roxanne Clifton, MT was re-elected to a second term. Everett Bloodworth, MT our southern District Councilor was elected for his first term. Janet Sesser, RMA was elected to the open RMA position. Polly Miller, RMA did not seek re-election and both Judy Smith, MT and David McCullough, MT reached their term limits and came off the Board. All three did a great job for AMT and will be missed. Edna Anderson, MT will be the new Executive Councilor. She replaces Carol Yankovich who for many years held the position. Carol will also be greatly missed.
The new slate of officers for AMT are:
President Paul Brown, MT
Vice President Roxanne Clifton, MT
Treasurer Susannah Hancock, RMA
Secretary Nancy Barrow, MT

Peggy Oiler, MT

NOTICE!!!

AMT Members

Matthew Patton, Editor, ADVANCE for Medical Laboratory Professional, would like to publish articles on advances and changes in the healthcare profession. This would be especially true for the laboratory profession. He would especially like article from members who have been in the field for twenty or more years. However, I am sure as an editor; he would accept articles from some of our younger members. These articles should reflect changes that you have seen taken place over the years. I can remember using oil bath to incubate chemistry test. Now most tests are enzymatic. I can remember inoculating sugars for bacterial testing. Now, this is automated. If you have an article to write about an experience you would like to share, you can contact Matthew at:
