Volunteer Recognition

The sustained high quality of CALA programs is a direct result of the ongoing commitment and dedication of our volunteers.

Volunteer efforts are critical to keeping CALA programs and services at an affordable level for the laboratory community. The expertise and professionalism exhibited by our volunteers encourages all of CALA to strive for even higher levels of stakeholder satisfaction in everything we do as an organization.

Volunteer Service Recognition Pin

Established in 2011, the CALA “Volunteer Service Recognition Pin” program is a way to recognize these outstanding individuals and their contributions. The pins recognize service for 5 years or greater, in increments of 5 years. CALA has a standardized approach for the award of these volunteer recognition pins:

Assessors

During a year that CALA hosts a biennial training event for its assessors, any assessor reaching an award milestone (5,10,15 or 20 years) will be presented their pin at the biennial training event. In years when there is no biennial assessor training, assessors will be recognized at the CALA AGM.

Other volunteers

All non-assessor volunteers reaching a milestone will be recognized annually at the CALA AGM.

As a CALA volunteer Assessor, expert Advisory Panel member, Program Committee member, Accreditation Council member, or member of the CALA Board of Directors, the following individuals have made an immeasurable contribution to the laboratory community.

Those who have an asterix (*) next to their position held, are currently active in that role.
