📰 Accreditation Rules for Sample Transfer Depot 📰 We have discovered that some testing laboratories have sought laboratory accreditation for facilities that primarily serve as sample transfer depots rather than fully-operational testing laboratories. AASHTO Accreditation is strictly reserved for testing laboratories and does not extend to sample transfer depots. The AASHTO Accreditation Program (AAP) has been actively identifying and removing such facilities from the program as they are discovered. https://lnkd.in/eW_9K4_M

Spectra QEST's Steve Wright, Lisa Klotz, Greta Vohlers and Beth Mayo-Yurek had a great time at the 2025 AASHTO re:source (formerly AMRL) Technical Exchange last week in Bellevue, Washington! Beth Mayo-Yurek, Vice President of Customer Experience, participated in an informative panel discussion about standardizing quality processes using laboratory information management systems. The conference was filled with instructive and insightful sessions. Thank you to all involved with the 2025 AASHTO #resourceTechEx!

What a great week spent at #resourceTechEx with a really knowledgeable and engaged group of professionals. We talked intentional communications and what that means for our interactions with customers and employees. (I can also confidently state that starting a presentation with a Ron Swanson video clip will ALWAYS be the right choice.) Thanks to AASHTO re:source (formerly AMRL) for inviting me to share those intentional communications tips and serve on a panel regarding time management—I certainly learned more from that than I was able to contribute (thanks to Sonya Puterbaugh, Texas Department of Transportation’s Amy Melton, and Robert Lutz).
