Governance
Life Member

According to the ASRT Bylaws, life members are those active members who have maintained continuous membership for a minimum of 30 years and shall be limited to one for each 2,500 active members. Their participation as a member shall reflect exceptional service and dedication to the ASRT and the profession.

In particular, the honorary category recognizes a wide range of activities, not just being a long-term member of the ASRT. Life members should be recognized for sustained superior performance in support of the ASRT and the medical imaging or radiation therapy profession.

 

Three categories will be considered:

  1. Engagement: The description should reflect the nominee’s exceptional service and dedication to ASRT and the profession through sustained, lifelong contributions to the profession, education, administration, research, economics, or literature.
  2. Performance: The description should explain their demonstrated leadership that has affected the health care or community and culture of the United States via meaningful contributions to the ASRT and the medical imaging or radiation therapy profession.
  3. Impact: How the achievements have enduring value to ASRT and the profession. Describes how any meaningful changes in the profession or workplace were a result of their actions, behaviors, or work.
