Louis Konstant - Director of Communications and Editor of CSAO e-newsletter

Greetings to All

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and some relaxing time away from the reprocessing world. September and the annual CSAO Conference is just around the corner. I hope many of you will attend once again and looking forward to meeting all the familiar as well as the new delegates. We are happy to be putting out this July 2013 e-newsletter, the last before the conference.

We have made a few improvements and additions to the CSAO website including online payment for Membership, Education and the Annual Conference. We have a CSAO LinkedIn Group that is now active to keep members updated and encourage all to connect. 

The CSAO's Goals will continue to be to concentrate our efforts in developing and growing in the following areas: Communication (internal and external), Recognition and Image Building and Education. To develop and implement strategic plans to improve communications, promote our image and to sustain current, as well as build additional educational resources. Through this, the CSAO will position itself as an active and viable voice for Reprocessing Departments nationally.

The CSAO vision shall be to provide the members of the Association and healthcare facilities with organized educational opportunities, professional development, a forum for information exchange, and member services in response to member identified needs and priorities, and to represent members in the professional community.

 
This e-Newsletter will provide updates and information from the Executive Committee, Chapter Reports and other articles and links related to Standards, Conferences and Educational Opportunities.

Please let me know if you have any ideas to add to any upcoming eNewsletters.
