Dwindling Membership: What’s Up?

AmSECT: An Organization for Everyone

• This society exists by volunteer perfusionists who work for the benefit of its members.
• This society exists due to perfusionists who pay dues to support it, and generous support

from our manufacturer partners.

• It is large enough and its operations complex enough that is must have professional

management.

• This society exists to promote our profession and represent all of the various interests of

the profession and all who practice within the profession.

• This society has been sustained, survived, and at times thrived by the tenacity of

dedicated colleagues.

• It’s getting harder to offer the array of services, and the planned new services, because of

dwindling membership support. (We’re already making cuts)

• A big hurdle is dwindling support from our younger colleagues, despite the fact that no
• ther organization has consistently offered the student support as has AmSECT.
• AmSECT is the largest and longest lived of organizations dedicated to our profession.
• AmSECT is only as strong and as good as member support allows it to be.
• Bob says “AmSECT is worthy of the support of every perfusionist working in this country”.
