A Message from the ASATT President:
Dear ASATT Members,
First, I want to thank you all for giving me this opportunity to serve as your President of such a great organization. I look forward to leading you into the future with great new projects and plans.
We asked you for participation in ASATT Committees and boy did you respond! That allowed us to get these all-important Committees active again and working on the things we need to get done to move the Society forward. The process is taking a little longer due to some necessary Bylaws and Policy and Procedure changes. Those of you that responded, please be patient and you will hear back from us soon.
One of the things I know membership has been asking for is getting our Certification recognized. There are a few things we need to make this happen. One is financial stability to invest in the data collection needed for advocacy in this process. The other is a strong and growing membership. We have the financial stability for this, but we need your help with the other part. Being a continued member, advocating for the Society, and encouraging others to join will help us get stronger and be able to make these changes happen quicker.
Hopefully soon you will be watching the first Webcast episode of many that ASATT will be putting out. These Webcasts will start out as being quarterly throughout the year. We figured this was a great way to get more in the social media space and to be able to communicate with the membership to let you know what is happening and to hear from you. They say that the camera can add 10lbs, but I think it may have added a few more with this winter we are having here in Wisconsin!
Lastly, this year there are going to be a lot of things happening behind the scenes to get the groundwork in place for us as a Society to move forward. I want to thank all those who will be helping with this because the Society cannot stay stagnant. The work we are all doing will help get and keep the Society moving in a positive direction!
