Dear ASATT Members,

As we step into 2025, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued dedication and commitment to the advancement of our profession. Your passion and expertise are the foundation of ASATT, and together, we are making significant strides toward strengthening our society and the field of anesthesia technology.

This year, we remain focused on enhancing the value of ASATT membership by continuing improvements in education, professional development, and engagement. One of the most exciting initiatives for 2025 is the return of limited in-person regional meetings, with a strong emphasis on technical workshops and community outreach. These gatherings will provide a hands-on learning experience and offer opportunities to engage with peers, share best practices, and increase awareness of the vital role anesthesia technologists play in healthcare. Stay tuned for more details as we finalize the locations and schedules for these important events.

Additionally, I encourage each of you to take an active role in shaping the future of ASATT by participating in our 2025 Board of Directors elections. This year, we will be electing representatives for Regions 1, 3, 5, and 7, as well as the President-Elect. Serving on the board is an incredible opportunity to make a lasting impact on our profession, advocate for our members, and help guide ASATT’s future growth. The nominations process will open soon, and I urge you to consider nominating yourself or a colleague who is passionate about advancing our field.

We have an exciting year ahead, and I am confident that, with your involvement, ASATT will continue to grow and evolve in ways that benefit both our members and the broader healthcare community. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let’s make 2025 a year of learning, collaboration, and progress!
