"We need to be obnoxiously positive and share how awesome we are."
Monday, 12 May, 2025

At the 2025 APHL Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon, APHL's current board president, president-elect and CEO sat down for a conversation about the challenges and successes of the past year. APHL President Dr. Megan Crumpler (director, Orange County Public Health Laboratory) and President-Elect Dr. Scott Shone (director, North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health) shared their experiences with major laboratory construction projects and their own approach to leadership. Along with APHL CEO Scott Becker, they discuss the challenges faced by public health laboratories and the need for a more visible role in local communities and our nation's public health system. "I think we need to be obnoxiously positive and share how awesome we are," strongly stated Dr. Shone.
