President's Message

Greetings TriState Members!

Cheers to 2023! As we return to normalcy, I hope all is well with everyone. The weather in New England is unpredictable but winter can be a beautiful time as are the other seasons. Now that 2022 is behind us, we are re-grouping and want to arrange scientific meetings for 2023. Attending the scientific meetings are a great way to earn continuing educational credits, network within your career field and meet organizational leaders. TriState is in search for more leaders to volunteer their time. All Board Leadership positions are available to be filled starting the new year. Please connect with me with your interest and I will send you descriptions of each position.

Please note: The AMT annual renewal fee increases will be effective January 1, 2023.

• MT/MLT/MDT: $110
• CLC: $105
• RMA/RPT/PCT/CMAS/RDA/CMLA: $75
• AHI: $45

As of last fall, (formerly known as) Medical Technologists, are now being called Medical Laboratory Scientists—MLS. This is to unify the profession and also to have a common voice for advocacy. This better describes the specialized knowledge in the medical laboratory field as well.

Don’t miss out on future events and save the date for the AMT’s 2023 Annual Meeting, taking place July 24-28 in Norfolk, Virginia. Registration opens in early 2023. Keep alert for AMT email blast with further instructions and updates.

In the meantime, stay certified, be sure you update your profile with AMT and pay your dues, so you are sure to receive all the benefits membership provides as well as receiving emails with updated information.

May the closeness of your loved ones, family, and friends fill your heart with joy. Happy New Year!

All my best -
Phyllis Nordby, RMA
