BAL’s President/CEO, Michelle Briscoe, spent a full day last month advocating for the private commercial laboratory industry on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC as part of the “Independence Day” activities sponsored by the American Council of Independent Laboratories (ACIL). With meetings scheduled in the offices of three members of the Senate and four members of the House of Representatives, plus a Congressional Briefing, the day was packed full of opportunities for Ms. Briscoe to discuss important issues that align with BAL’s core values with key legislative staffers.
