COMMITTEE'S 2010-11

TN AST
Membership Report 2009

Members 997
New Members 42
Suspended Members 179


   The membership committee has been working hard this year. We have created a new sub-committee; The Retention & Recruitment sub-committee.   We are also currently working on forming The Tennessee- Student Association of Surgical Technology (TN- SAST). We are also working on establishing the Veterans of TN AST.
The Retention & Recruitment committee will focus on retaining our current members of the TN AST. This committee will be lead by Tom Walker and Terrell Lykens, both members of the TN AST board. They will be contacting members within the state to see where we can best serve them as an association. They will also be working on increasing our membership; the more members we have the stronger we are.
   The TN-SAST (Tennessee-Student Association of Surgical Technology) will focus on the students in CAAHEP approved surgical technology programs. Working under the membership committee, within the TNAST, They will have their own officers elected by the students. The TN SAST will also provide a student track during our annual state conferences. We are hoping this will stimulate the students to be more involved in their future by serving as officers, board members and committee members.
   The Veterans of TN AST will be established to show our thanks and appreciation to those Veterans that have served us in the Armed Forces. We will also be there to help those discharging from their service to make the transfer into the civilian Operating Room.
   For any questions feel free to call or email any of your TN AST officers or board member. For contact information go to www.tnast.org
