As an institutional member, your pledged organization will be listed on the ABLE website and you will be permitted to use the ABLE Institutional Member Logo on your website and other marketing materials. This will let your clients, and the public-at-large, know that you are fully committed to laboratory excellence! ABLE institutional membership also grants your organization (2) individual memberships (a $125 value) at no additional cost. Individual members are entitled to vote during elections and on key issues, run for board seats, participate in committees, gain access to supplemental guidance documents, and much more.
If you own and/or operate a Bioskills facility, you are probably already well aware that there is little to no regulation or published guidance available to ensure that your organization is providing the best possible learning environment as well as maintaining an adequate quality system. ABLE sought to change this by first establishing a set of guidelines which are published and available at no cost. ABLE now offers Institutional Membership to organizations that are committed to implementing the ABLE Guidelines for best practices within their policies and procedures. An organization seeking this membership must sign the ABLE Institutional Membership Pledge, attesting to its efforts to abide by the established Guidelines. Bioskills facilities should take advantage of any opportunity to advance their perceived professionalism. Becoming an institutional member of ABLE and sharing with the world that they have made a pledge to follow best practices, is a worthy addition to any Bioskills facility’s list of qualifications.
