In 1997, the AALAS Certification Registry became a recognized 2-year program awarding AALAS certified technicians and technologists with the distinction of a "R" in front of their AALAS certification level to acknowledge their continuing education and training efforts.

This year marked the 2-year renewal process for the initial participants in the Registry. At this time, the members of the Certification Registry Committee (CRC) would like to solicit your feedback on the what the AALAS Registry means to you and ask you for your feedback on ways to improve the Registry.

Thank you. We appreciate your input and value the feedback.
