Dr. Anthony Killeen, president of ADLM, noted, “On behalf of the ADLM board of directors, our members, and our global community, I want to convey my deepest appreciation for Mark and his leadership over the past five years.

Golden joined ADLM in 2020, guiding the association through the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and into a successful period of post-pandemic recovery. During his tenure, he led a comprehensive brand repositioning effort, including a successful name change to better reflect the organization’s evolving role in healthcare.
“The medical laboratory holds an increasingly vital responsibility in improving patient outcomes,” Golden said. “Integrating laboratory stewardship with adjacent disciplines — along with advances in data analytics — positions ADLM at the forefront of innovation in diagnostics, treatment, and care. It’s been a privilege to be part of that progress. I leave behind a strong senior leadership team and a clear strategic path forward to realizing that vision.”
Before joining ADLM, Golden served as CEO of both the National Society of Professional Engineers and the National Court Reporters Association.
