Members of the Board of Directors were installed during the ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting on June 28, 2026.

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists has an eight-member Board of Directors. Each year, the ASRT membership elects a president-elect, vice president, secretary and treasurer. After serving one year on the Board, the president-elect is elevated to the office of president and the current president becomes chair of the Board. The ASRT House of Delegates elects the remaining two members of the Board — speaker and vice speaker — during the Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting in June each year. The new Board is installed at the annual governance meeting.
