To All ISSAMT Members,
It is with great sadness that I inform all of you that our long time fellow AMT member, Pat Cuviello, passed away. Pat retired last year as the AMTIE President and EQS Committee Chairman. His dedication, commitment, and loyalty to AMT will never be forgotten

ISSAMT President
Do you like to travel? Do you enjoy meeting new friends and keeping up to date with new and current technology and educational information? Are you inspired by recognition for your hard work and achievements?
If you have answered yes to all, or any of the above questions, then you need to belong and participate in your state chapter of AMT!
Did you know that every year we have a National Conference that consists of five days of learning, recognition awards, and the opportunity to enjoy a fun holiday at the same time? Not only do we receive great rates for our rooms but we have discounted rates for sight seeing also. Last year we were in Minneapolis and this year we will be in Las Vegas, Nev.
In Illinois we will also have an educational conference on Friday, April 30, 2010. Each conference is packed full with current up-to-date information on new technology, highly publicized medical topics, and an opportunity to dine and mingle with AMT members, students, and top experts in their field. Can you think of a better way to earn your continuing education credits?
So what are you waiting for? All you have to do is call or e-mail me, or any of our other officers or board members, and we will be greeting you at the door of our next meeting!
Just visit contact, and you will be on your way to a bright and rewarding future. I look forward to meeting you soon!
Very truly yours,
Nancy Gabl BBA, RMA (AMT), CMA (AAMA), CPT (NPA)

I would like to thank ISSAMT for allowing me to serve as a delegate at the Educational Program and National Meeting.
I attended several great sessions. For me, the most touching memory was during the opening ceremony when the military color guard presented the flag, the invocation was given, and the National Anthem was beautifully sung.
The keynote address was given by First Officer Jeff Skiles, who was one of the crew members that assisted in the US Airways Flight 1549 emergency landing in the Hudson River. According to Skiles, prior training and managing the resources available to you at the time are keys when faced with a crisis situation. This reminded me of how we medical technologists are counted on to analyze specimens with great accuracy and speed. Similar to the lives that were saved in the Hudson River, we have to follow precise procedures that are in place in order to get the outcome as accurate as possible.
I would like to thank everyone who made the AMT conference a success. The New Continuing Education Recording form is great. I sincerely thank Nancy Gabl for her dedication and hard work in the role as ISSAMT president.

I was very happy to attend and represent Illinois as a delegate to the National Meeting in Minneapolis in June.
It was great seeing many of my old friends - some approaching 50 year membership! It was also wonderful getting together with Nancy and Josephine. The seminars were really outstanding! I was happy that you were able to attend the OGM Dinner. The Election of Members to the Board was uneventful, since no competition existed!
I trust that in addition to the enjoyable aspects of the convention, all of us gained some additional knowledge and insight that will enhance our AMT experiences.
