"And who knew that today I stand here with my colleagues as the incoming president for APHL."

At this year's APHL Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, we talked APHL's current board president, president-elect and CEO about the challenges and successes of the past year and the focus of the year to come. APHL President Dr. Scott Shone (director, North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health) reflected on his call for APHL and the greater public health laboratory community to be "obnoxiously positive" by sharing stories of our collective accomplishments. And President-Elect Dr. Sharon Massingale talked about the value of regional consortia in bringing laboratory leaders together to support each other in their work. Dr. Massingale also talked about how she found her way to public health, a journey that was neither easy nor linear. APHL's top leaders discussed this, our 75 year history and more in this episode.
