Communities

Technologists' Forum

The Technologists' Forum is free to join and provides a community for those who work in a technical field involving microscope sample preparation and imaging or anyone interested in expanding their skills. The Tech Forum is an MSA Committee with representation on Council by a liaison.

The Tech Forum is headed by a governing Board consisting of a Chair, Vice-Chair (Incoming Chair), past Chair, and a secretary as appointed by the Chair with Board approval. Subcommittee leaders or special program advisors are also chosen by the Chair with Board approval.  The committee Chair has a three-year term in office. Anyone within the Technologists’ Forum membership can be a member of the Governing Board. Meetings are held quarterly through Zoom. Contact the current Chair for additional information.
