Alabama Society of Radiologic TechnologistsALSRT Membership: What's in it for me?
Commitment
As of March 2011, 5,171 Alabama residents were ARRT certified, yet only about 1% are currently members of ALSRT. We have a long tradition of being committed to those things that are most important to us in Alabama, whether it be to our family, neighbors, faith, or sports team, and showing commitment to your professional society should be no different. Becoming a member of ALSRT is a commitment not only to advancement of our profession, but also to the quality of care we provide to our patients.
Community
Being part of ALSRT links you to other individuals with shared interests, goals, and concerns. Whether through the annual meeting or smaller meetings held during the year, members have opportunities to meet with other professionals from across the state to learn, share, and grow. Speaking of networking opportunities, ALSRT is now on Facebook (look for ALSRT)!Affordability
At $30 annually, membership costs less than a tank of gasoline. ALSRT strives to give you a good value for your membership, and that includes free registration for the regional conference held in the Fall. We also try to establish reasonable registration rates for the annual conference, which often includes several meals while in attendance.Opportunities
Each year the ALSRT hosts a Spring and Fall conference. The Spring program gives us an opportunity to conduct the business of ALSRT while also providing a carefully planned program which includes topics that will satisfy the interests of the broad audience we serve. Registration fees are kept to a minimum and options for accommodation are affordable. The Fall conference is moved to various locations across the state from one year to the next to provide opportunity for everyone to participate. These meetings provide a wonderful opportunity to network with other professionals while learning. Members are also encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to serve on committees, speak at meetings, or serve on the Board of Directors.Representation
A strong professional organization has the potential to influence public policy and legislation. All but a few states have some form of licensure that specifies the training needed to operate radiation-generating equipment. Alabama is one of those states without licensure requirements. You make a difference when you join ALSRT. The larger our membership, the more powerful our voice in letting our legislators know where we stand on this and other important issues.Thanks for making a difference. Thanks for joining ALSRT!
