Hello everyone!
Our chapter plans to have its own Annual Award application go out, but this is for the ASCP Annual Award. It would be awesome if we had someone from West Virginia nominated…and even win. Please see below on how you can nominate someone:

Applications are now open for the ASCP Annual Awards.

This is an opportunity to highlight individuals who are making a real impact in the laboratory and healthcare community.

Too often, the most deserving professionals don't apply, not because they aren't qualified, but because they don't realize the impact they're making.

If you or someone in your network comes to mind, I encourage you to take that next step.

Apply or learn more here: www.ascp.org/membership-resources/awards-recognition/...

ASCP seeks to recognize our members and other deserving individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to pathology and laboratory medicine.

The ASCP 2026 Vacancy Survey is open, and your participation matters.

For nearly four decades, this biennial survey has served as the primary source of laboratory workforce data for industry, government, and academic analysts. The results directly shape policy, advocacy efforts, and programs designed to address staffing shortages across pathology and laboratory medicine.

Your lab's data helps paint a national picture of where vacancies exist, how long positions go unfilled, and what challenges labs like yours are facing, from recruitment and retention to adoption and certification requirements.

Take a few minutes to complete the survey and make your voice count in the 2026 report.
