Greetings Region 2,

As we approach the holiday season, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for electing me to this position, allowing me to serve as your representative. I am thankful for this opportunity and optimistic about the future. I am also deeply appreciative of those who reached out following my presentation at the September webinar; your feedback and kind words are greatly valued. As it was my first presentation, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it after overcoming my initial apprehension. It is evident that I have a strong passion for this field and the contribution of techs to patient anesthesia care. I encourage you to implement some of the advice I provided and strive to be an excellent tech by going the extra mile and always considering the underlying rationale of our actions to maintain professionalism and enhance the safety of the anesthesia practice. We must ensure we serve not only our patients but also all our providers.

Please save the dates! Regions 2 and 4 will jointly host a webinar on March 21st, and I am planning for an in-person meeting with hands on workshop in the Pittsburgh area in October 2026.

I welcome your input regarding ideas, questions, or concerns. I am eager to hear your suggestions for future topics. I encourage you to consider contributing through presentations at webinars/meetings, committee participation, or even by writing articles for the Sensor. Your assistance with networking with other techs and providers interested in promoting diversity in our education would also be greatly appreciated.

I extend my warmest and most heartfelt wishes to you all for a truly joyous and unforgettable holiday season, one that is abundantly filled with moments of peace, happiness, and cherished memories with loved ones.

Sincerely,
