A message from Scott N Haglund MA.Ed, RTR, ATC, our MSRT Legislative Chair, ASRT CRTA Region 5 Chair, and ASRT CRTA Vice Chair, regarding the importance of supporting your local professional organization.

We [The ASRT] are currently looking for qualified and enthusiastic candidates. The House of Delegates is the legislative body for the ASRT. It is an important position and allows technologist members to participate in the policy and standards decision making for the organization. Each year the HOD convenes to discuss and vote on bylaws changes and motions brought forth relevant to our day to day practice, education and safety. Please consider volunteering to be a part of your organization and help shape our professional standards. Submissions due by October 2nd.
