Former National publicity Secretary of AMLSN — Dr. Casmir Ifeanyi’s declaration of interest and unveiling of his candidacy to run for the 15th President of the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN) is one that has been met with a lot of excitement and anticipation. The event which took place at Anson Hotel and Suites, Abakaliki Ebonyi State, was punctuated by flowery endorsements from all the South East zonal branches and stakeholders, as Dr. Casmir pledged to take the Association to greater heights.
Dr. Casmir’s declaration of interest and unveiling of his candidacy is a testament to his leadership qualities, his commitment to professionalism, and his desire to see the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria become a beacon of excellence in the world of medical laboratory science. As he said in his speech, “Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence, and inspiration.” Dr. Casmir’s impact, influence, and inspiration are evident in the endorsements he has received from all the South East zonal branches of the Association, as well as from stakeholders within the field of medical laboratory science across the Niger.
As we look forward to the campaign and eventual election of the 15th President of the AMLSN, it is important that we keep the words of the Squadron Leader MA Suleiman Rtd before us as he said: “absolutely there shouldn’t be sentiments in choosing a leader, especially if such leader is the one to fight for your profession. DCI has been the most qualified to be the president of AMLSN for the past 3 tenures. I believe God’s time is the best and I pray now is the perfect time…. The flag off of the campaign yesterday and declaration ceremony at Ebonyi was super and should be replicated in all the geopolitical zones. I am ready, willing and available to support this movement in which ever way I can.”
According to Vince Lombardi “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” Dr. Casmir’s commitment to professionalism, his dedication to excellence and his desire to take the Association to greater heights are all products of the hard work and effort that he has put into his career.
DCI’s declaration has been met with a lot of excitement and anticipation. As we look forward to the campaign and eventual election, we must remember that leadership is about impact, influence, and inspiration. We must also remember that great leaders are made, not born, and that the price of achieving any worthwhile goal is hard work and effort.
DCI — synergizing for our common good!
