Hello Region 2,

As our new administration takes shape at ASATT, I am excited about the new ideas that have been proposed and their positive reception. I welcome your ongoing input and suggestions; please continue to reach out and let us maintain open communication channels. We must remember that achieving significant advancements requires a gradual approach; we must build a strong foundation before moving forward. I am confident that through patience and teamwork, we can achieve great things and move forward towards a positive direction! 

In my previous report, I encouraged members to join a committee. I was informed that 50 members have volunteered to join a committee, which is the largest number of interests we have seen! This is encouraging, and exactly what I hoped for! Our membership and profession's strength are directly related to the collective efforts of ALL members. We have plans to restructure these committees to enhance productivity by establishing measurable outcomes and accountability for each committee. 

Mark your calendars! Regions 2 & 4 will host a webinar on Saturday, March 21st. Based on the feedback I received, we will cover exciting topics such as obstetrics, TEG, and regional anesthesia. I have requested that each presenter tailor their lectures to better suit the position of anesthesia techs.
Furthermore, I have secured two continuing education articles for the Sensor, which will be published shortly: "Quality Assurance and Quality Control in Autotransfusion" and "Height-Based ETT Depth."

I am looking forward to our continued collaboration throughout 2026!

Respectfully,
