We are proud to see ASRT President Marissa Mangrum representing the Society on the national stage. Last week, Marissa attended the AHRA Liaison Meetings, strengthening relationships and advancing conversations that support the future of medical imaging and radiation therapy. She also represented ASRT at the AEIRS Annual Meeting, where ASRT was a proud sponsor and Marissa joined a leadership panel alongside leaders from ARRT, JRCERT and SNMMI-TS/NMTCB. Opportunities like these demonstrate the importance of collaboration across organizations as we work together to advance our professions, support our workforce and strengthen patient care. Thank you, Marissa, for your leadership and for representing ASRT with passion, professionalism and purpose.
