Membership and
Professional Development Committee Report
Your AMP
Membership & Professional Development Committee (MPDC) is
working on several projects of interest to the general
membership. Our newest initiative is the 2010 launch of an
international membership grant program that will use
generous donations to the AMP Leadership Fund to annually
sponsor AMP memberships for five non-U.S. lab professionals
from institutions and/or countries with limited resources.
As
for related “international” themes, MPDC is continuing to
work with interested international members to better define
the organization’s vision for service and outreach to our
international members. The MPDC has formulated formal
AMP-approved guidelines for both “International Chapters” as
well as “Geographic and Interest Groups”. What should be
AMP’s role in promoting molecular pathology outside of
North America? Ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
As
usual, if you are interested in serving AMP as a volunteer
on one of its many Committees, we remind you once again that
a comprehensive list of these volunteer opportunities is
available on the AMP website at
http://www.amp.org/AboutAmp/getinvolved.htm or by
contacting either us or Membership and Professional
Development Committee members Robyn Temple-Smolkin or
Shuji Ogino. |
