Welcome to the spring 2010 issue of the Northeast Region newsletter. In addition to updating what's going on in our laboratories, we are also spotlighting our 2010 FLC award winners: the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center; U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center; and Dr. Theresa Baus of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport. Because nominations are submitted from all six regions, the national FLC awards program is extremely competitive, so our winners should be especially proud of their achievements.

I want to say thanks to those who attended our recent meeting in West Point. It was a great two days of networking and exchanging ideas that will strengthen our laboratories' technology transfer efforts. Be sure to check out the proceedings on our site (http://www.flcnortheast.org/march2010_meeting.html) if you missed any presentation or couldn't make the meeting.

It won't be much longer before we are heading to Albuquerque for the 2010 national meeting. I expect to see a large Northeast Region presence as the turnout of our members has been increasing in recent years. As always, thank you for your continued support of our region and its laboratories.
