President's Message

My Final Message: A Grateful Farewell

As I share my final President’s Message, I am filled with gratitude for the last 13 years serving as President of our State Society. On January 1, 2026, I will officially step down from this role, and as I reflect on this journey, I am truly humbled by all we have accomplished together.

It has been an honor to work alongside dedicated colleagues, passionate volunteers, and committed partners who believe deeply in the mission of our society. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Eastern District Councilors, Janet, Melissa, Ivette, and Susan; whom I have had the privilege of working with throughout the years, as well as to the board members who have served alongside me, Catherine and Lisa. Your guidance, collaboration, and unwavering support have meant more than I can express. Our success has always been a shared effort, and I am grateful to each of you.

As I transition from this role, it brings me great pride and confidence to introduce Brittany Dixon, RMA who will assume the position of President on January 1, 2026. Brittany brings more than 12 years of experience as a dedicated and highly skilled Registered Medical Assistant working in dynamic, high-volume healthcare settings. As both an educator and mentor, she is deeply committed to developing future healthcare professionals and advancing the AMT credentials. Her passion, experience, and leadership make her exceptionally well prepared to guide our society into its next chapter.

Please join me in welcoming Brittany as she steps into this important role. I am confident that her leadership and vision will continue to move our society forward. If you would like to send her a welcome message, you may contact her at: Tristateamt2026@gmail.com.

Though this may be my last message as President, it is not a farewell to the relationships, memories, and shared commitments that have defined my time here. I will always remain a supporter of this organization and the remarkable individuals who make it so strong. Thank you for the privilege of serving you.

Cheers for another year of friendships, future adventures and beautiful memories.

With sincere appreciation
Phyllis C. Nordby, RMA (AMT)
President, TriState Society
