Hello everyone!

Thank you again for allowing me to serve as your new Region 2 Director! Those of you that know me already know that I will not take this responsibility lightly. For those of you that do not, I am looking forward to hearing from you and collaborating within our region! I want to be a voice for you, the organization and most importantly, our profession. As a 20+ year veteran of the society and field, I have seen many ups and downs. Instead of sitting back and watching from afar, I felt I could play a positive role in progress by jumping in feet first! I have already vocalized many concerns as well as ideas to the board and plan to continue to do so to the best of my abilities!

That being said, I am only ONE PERSON. I am the program director at our local community college in Pittsburgh and I remain on staff at one of the city’s busiest (and finest) hospitals. Taking on this role will certainly add some craziness to my already crazy life, but I am incredibly happy to do so knowing that I have the support of our region in my corner!

So here is my challenge to YOU, REGION 2…I CHALLENGE you to step up and SERVE on a committee!! Help me formulate a formidable team by having our region represented in every aspect of ASATT! One of the goals I vocalized to the BOD was to have 1 person from each region represented on EVERY committee, so make a choice to not just sit back but to STEP UP!

I am already planning a dynamic, in-person meeting for May 2025 in the Pittsburgh area as well as a webinar for September 2025. More details on both to follow!

In the meantime, please email me, send me your ideas and let us work together and bring some positive progress to all!

Additionally, I have created a Facebook group that you are welcome (and encouraged) to join-simply search “Region 2-Anesthesia Techs” and let’s connect!

Respectfully submitted,
Wendi Slusser Cer. A.T.T.
