Governance
Life Member

The life member category is an honor recognizing individual members for their special contributions to the ASRT. This membership status is limited to active members who qualify within the eligibility guidelines stated in the ASRT Bylaws. It should not be confused with retired or inactive status. Life members are exempt from all annual dues payments. Life members retain all rights and privileges of regular active members.

Life members are recognized for their outstanding contributions to the profession and to the ASRT. In particular, the honorary category recognizes a wide range of activities, not just being a long-term member of the ASRT. Life members should be recognized for sustained superior performance in support of the ASRT and the radiologic science profession.

According to the ASRT Bylaws, life members are those active members who have maintained continuous membership for a minimum of 30 years and shall be limited to one for each 2,500 active members. Their participation as a member shall reflect exceptional service and dedication to the ASRT and the profession. They shall be selected by three-fourths vote of the entire membership of the Board of Directors. They shall have all rights, privileges and obligations of active members.
