Welcome to the winter 2010 issue of FLC Northeast News. You'll find this issue informative, as our laboratories are more involved than ever in activities that not only fulfill their mission, but advance the transfer of technology.

The past year was a successful one for the Northeast Region on several fronts. Among our accomplishments, we:

• Won 2009 FLC awards in the categories of Excellence in Technology Transfer, Outstanding Service, and the Harold Metcalf Award.
• Presented three 2009 Northeast Regional Awards in the categories of Excellence in Technology Transfer, Laboratory of the Year, and Regional Coordinator's Excellence Award.
• Held regional meetings in Newport, R.I., and Princeton, N.J., that drew attendees from all over the country.

For more information on other 2009 successes, please read past issues of our newsletter at http://www.flcnortheast.org/news.html.

As the New Year starts, I would like to extend my thanks to all supporters of the Northeast Region and its laboratories. Much of our success is due to you attending our meetings, sending us tips on events that may be of interest to the local technology transfer community and, most importantly, working with our laboratories to make their technologies accessible to all.
