"As a Board Member during FY25, I was constantly impressed with the consistent and ongoing efforts of the FLC team," says FLC Executive Director Paige George. "Their persistence and talent were always evident, and that became a big reason why I wanted to put myself forward for the Executive Director role when it became available. The FLC continues to provide significant value to its member laboratories and aid in advancing mission-critical technology transfer to the American public."

By law, the FLC is required to submit a report every year to the President, Congress, and appropriate agencies.
