ALT GROUP: MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS AND CLINICAL LAB SPECIALISTS. It was called as such and not "Association of Medical Technologists" for example, because a lot of laboratory members have graduated with different degrees - B.S. Medical Technology, B.S. Hygiene, M.S. in Molecular Biology, 2-yr. Medical Laboratory Technician, Phlebotomy training and other associate degrees.
The purpose of ALT is "Everyday Technology. Everyday People." ALT was founded on September 9, 2000 in a dinner meeting at Cafe Bolero Restaurant, Chicago, Illinois. It is 50% technology and 50% social. It thinks global but acts local. It is an exclusive membership to lab techs working in different hospitals, local and in other states, but honorary memberships are welcome to family and friends. Members who joined are from the Philippines, United States, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Colombia. All ALT Officers selected serve for a lifetime.

Best wishes to all!
