Here are some examples from last year:

Thank you to all our committee volunteers! The work accomplished by the more than 190 members of the association’s 21 committees represents some of the most essential activities done on behalf of the membership, the patients we serve, and our profession. Their work is the source of the association’s growth.

Thank you to all our journal editors and reviewers! In addition to ADLM Committees, the association is fortunate to benefit from the skills and contributions of editors and reviewers for our scientific journals and publications, which are read and respected around the globe.

Thank you for the work you put in day in and day out. Choosing to be in this profession means you are impacting patient lives — you are healthcare heroes.

Want to get more involved? Join a Local Section where members connect in their local communities by holding meetings, educational events, receptions, and other professional gatherings for networking and information sharing. You can also join an ADLM Scientific Division to network with other scientists who share your specific area of interest or expertise. Both of these groups provide opportunities for leadership and career growth.

Here are some fun games that ADLM's CLS Council curated to help you celebrate Lab Week.
