Without involvement, a member is truly not getting everything they could out of their membership and it helps to keep the passion ignited for years to come.
Volunteering with ASRT allows me to connect with like-minded professionals who are just as passionate about this field as I am. It keeps me engergized, reminds me why I entered this profession and gives real meaning to the decades I've dedicated to medical imaging.
I believe that volunteerism is a way to give back and a way to pay it forward to a profession that has given me a renewed purpose in life and given me stability in life.
Volunteering with the
ASRT has afforded me to develop lifelong friendships with some awesome people.
As an educator I instill th importance and benefits of volunteerism in my rad tech students both within the professional organizations as well
as in their communities where they live and work.
I volunteer with the ASRT because I believe strongly in giving back to the profession that has given me so much.
I want to be part of the process.
It's challenging and time-comsuming, but our patients and our profession are worth it.
To be honest, it paints me when I hear someone say, "Someone should do that."
My
response is "Be that someone."
Our future depends on technologists who dare to care a little louder and lead a little stronger
