The MSRT executive board will be holding the first Meeting after the new year. This will be a MSRT work day. We will work on items that need to be addressed such as website, email blasts, networking opportunities, student relations topics, signage etc etc.

If you have anything you would like the board to review or discuss, please reach out to any of the board members. This will be a great 2016.

This meeting will be held at Mayo Health Care System in Mankato MN

Our 2016 Student (Knowledge) Bowl will be held on the front end of, and in conjunction with the 2016 MSRT Annual Symposium and Business Meeting.

Please mark your calendars for Thursday September 29, 2016. 

Lets ALL plan to make this the biggest and best Student Event to date!

Much is yet to be planned... Event planning will be the biggest part of our Educator Meeting agenda in February. Please bring your creative ideas!

Our initial frame work will encompass an afternoon event with registration starting at 2p at TI Casino. To be book-ended with a Student Bowling 'mixer' team activity... The "Mixing Bowl" ha!

TI Casino details such as room rates will be forthcoming....

I look forward to collaborating with ALL of you regarding this event and challenge each Program to become involved with this event AND the ensuing MSRT Meeting on Friday and Saturday!

With warm regard, 

Scott.

Good Morning MSRT Members and Friends:

I would like to introduce myself. I am Sue McClanahan, President-Elect of the MSRT and besides introducing myself, I am asking for your help.

My past 50+ years of radiologic work history is varied; I have worked in small and large hospitals, the University of Minnesota Veterinary Teaching Hospital and in Radiation control for the Minnesota Department of Health.

Currently, I am retired but am CEO/co-owner of the Radiologic Education Center in Spring Lake Park, MN. Here we provide continued education on MN issues.

My MSRT commitment continues to be very strong.  I have been a member since the late ‘50s servicing in multiple capacities.  I have served as both President and President-Elect.  Some of the committees I have served on are: the Continuing Education Committee (25 years), Chair and Co-Chair for the Continuing Education Committee and presenter for multiple education seminars including being the George Mansour Memorial Lecture.

There are 2 Board Positions that will need to be filled at our September meeting, President-Elect and Secretary. The position requirements are posted on the MSRT web-site at www.MNSRT.com.

 For more information or if you wish to contact me directly, my e-mail is vern9803@q.com.

I look forward to serving you as the MSRT President Beginning in September 2015.

Sincerely,

Sue McClanahan, RT(R), ARRT

President-Elect.
