Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening Adopts Strategic Plan

The newly formed Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) has revealed its inaugural strategic plan, which will be used to establish a framework within which the society will objectively assess, justify, and build programs, products, services, and events.

According to SLAS CEO Greg Dummer, "this plan thoughtfully outlines where our organization expects to go over the next few years, how it's going to get there, and how we'll know if it got there or not. It is a decision-making tool that defines our direction and provides a context for assessing tangible action plans and appropriately allocating resources.”

The SLAS mission is to be the preeminent global organization providing forums for education and information exchange, and to encourage the study of and improve the science and practice of laboratory automation and screening.

The strategic plan is organized into four primary focus areas: defining and expanding the scope of SLAS; connecting the global community to SLAS content; cultivating partnerships for enhanced member opportunities; and developing a world-class organization.

The goal of the society is to be a multidisciplinary organization serving academia, industry, government organizations, private institutes, and technology providers across geographic borders.

The Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) is a new nonprofit scientific organization uniting the former Society for Biomolecular Sciences (SBS) and the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA).

The SLAS Strategic Plan is presented in its entirety at the society's new website.
