President's Message

Hi, welcome to our website. Our Spring 2007 meeting will be at High Tech Institute just off I-15 and west on Sahara across from Palace Station. Meeting will be as follows:
Board meeting 9-10AM
General meeting and CEUS 10-12AM
Business meeting for all members 12AM-1pm or until done
We need to nominate several officer positions and appointments will be made to fill the remaining slots for this year. The general election will be held on Sept 22, 2007 with nominations closed after Aug 30, 2007. Anyone going to the convention this summer needs to notify me right away so I can seat you as a voting delegate from our society. Financial help may be available depending on how many we have. I will finish my term this year and plan on turning over the society to one of you. I need to use my time to pursue a Doctorate. I will sponsor free seminars this summer on Saturdays for test preparation on AMT Exams. I am Moving this month also so contact me thru my email scottishcowboy1@yahoo.com . I normally don't open mail from someone I don't know so be sure to put AMT somewhere in the title of your email so I can get back to you.
New Items:
Rumor has it we won't let Phillipine residents get licensure in the State of Nevada. This is wrong, I have been working with the state to amend the licensure process, in particular for former service members. They will not allow an MLT to become and MT however without a one year internship as this is required of all in state students. To avoid this problem you need to do the internship, apply to an MT program in Nevada or work your situation out individually with the state. We certainly support all our members and I will be traveling to Carson City to meet with the state boards on all our certifications.
RMA's and RDA's will be included and I will be addressing all of the schools in the state about our online testing, looking into students being used and then dropped by providers and increasing our numbers.
Rural members, we will be reaching out to you. We know how hard it is to travel to our meetings so we will be coming to you. More details soon. Have a safe Memorial Day and please remember those who sacrificed everything for our country and our troops.


 John A. Garrard, MS, MT
 Nevada State Society President.
