Dear MACSA Members,

As I begin my term as President of the Mid-Atlantic Central Service Association, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you — the heart of this chapter. It is an honor to serve, and I step into this role with deep gratitude, clear intention, and a commitment to strengthening the work we do together.

Our chapter has always been rooted in the values and mission of HSPA: advancing patient safety, elevating the Sterile Processing profession, and empowering every technician, educator, and leader to grow in excellence. These values guide my leadership. They shape every decision, every initiative, and every opportunity we create for our members.

My intention for this term is simple and strong:

- To build a chapter culture where every member feels seen, supported, and connected.

- To expand educational opportunities that reflect the evolving needs of our field.

- To strengthen partnerships that elevate the visibility and impact of Sterile Processing professionals.

- To ensure MACSA remains a place where leadership is developed, voices are welcomed, and innovation is encouraged.

This term has officially begun, and it will continue with purpose. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we grow our chapter, uplift our profession, and continue the legacy of excellence that MACSA is known for.

Thank you for your trust, your dedication, and your commitment to the mission we share.

With warm regards,

Lila Price, CRCST, CER, CHL

President, MACSA Chapter of HSPA
