Executive Vice President's Message
Thank You to Our Many Volunteers

The strength, reputation, and value of CLSI comes from one indispensable source: Committed Volunteers.  We will always be dedicated to the principle that consensus is the most efficient and cost-effective way to improve patient testing and services, and without the unfailing commitment of our volunteers we simply would not exist.

Having just returned from our very successful Leadership Conference and Workshop in Vienna, Virginia, I want to publicly thank our volunteer award recipients for this year. Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all of you who have committed your time and energy as well as extend a special thank you to those volunteers who were recently honored at our Leadership Conference.
