David Scott, CBET, recently won the 2009 AAMI/GE Healthcare BMET of the Year Award, which he accepted at the AAMI conference—Congratulations Dave! He is a manager at the Children’s Hospital in Aurora, Colo, and he is also the president of the Colorado Association of Biomedical Technicians (CABMET).

This is a very active group that has educational sessions throughout the year, an annual symposium, and a certification study group that it offers via teleconference. CABMET’s other officers include VP Robert Preston, CBET; Secretary Cindy Lusietto; and Treasurer Ken Ottenberg , CBET. What makes this organization tick?

I invite CABMET members and members of all biomed associations to write their comments on the successful practices they’ve employed to keep their organizations growing.
