Members of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists have elected five officers to serve on the 2025-2026 ASRT Board of Directors.

Meet Your Elected Candidates

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists named Wendy Weaver, B.S., R.T.(R)(M), of Benson, North Carolina, as the winner of the 2026 ASRT individual Award for Advocacy and the Louisiana Society of Radiologic Technologists as the affiliate Award for Advocacy winner.

The ASRT Award for Advocacy recognizes and acknowledges achievements in advocacy efforts, including overall growth and development of individual and affiliate grass-roots involvement.

Wendy Weaver,
B.S., R.T.(R)(M)

Weaver has been a radiography instructor for Johnston Community College, in Smithfield, North Carolina, for 24 years and an ASRT member for seven years. She is an active member of the North Carolina Society of Radiologic Technologists and serves as chair of the Advocacy Committee, working alongside the NCSRT Board of Directors, American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, ASRT and other advocacy stakeholders. Weaver was instrumental in helping to write the bill Enhancing Patient Care in Imaging and Radiation Therapy, which ensures that educationally prepared and clinically competent individuals perform and administer medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures. This resulted in companion bills, Senate Bill 415 and House Bill 590, being introduced in March 2025. She was successful in securing Rep. Donna White as sponsor of HB 590. After first being introduced and referred to the Health, Finance and Rules, Calendar and Operations Committees, HB 590 unanimously passed all committees, and it also unanimously passed the House.

To raise awareness of medical imaging and radiation therapists within her community, Weaver coordinated a 5K held at Johnston Community College, with more than 50 participants. Inspired by the ASRT Be Seen commercials, she created a video showcasing radiologic technologists in North Carolina. She spearheaded all aspects of production from writing the script, securing a videographer and the talent, to final editing; the completed video was emailed to society members and posted on social media.

Louisiana Society of Radiologic Technologists

The LSRT Legislative Affairs Committee and its members worked to achieve significant milestones from 2024-2025 including testifying in opposition of allowing a rules change under the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners for private radiologic technologists to be supervised remotely by a physician.

The LSRT also actively monitored House Bill 603 and 138, which are proposals to change the way regulatory boards’ function. The proposals would have had implications for professional representation and oversight in the state's regulatory system. Using grassroots efforts, including emails, phone calls, in-person meetings, social media platforms, website updates and the publication, The Focal Spot Monitor, the Society targeted key health care and professional organizations that could be impacted by the bill. The LSRT's work was successful and HB 603 and 138 did not move forward in the legislature.

In addition, the LSRT worked with the Louisiana State Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners to expand licensure in the state. In 2025, the board of examiners voted unanimously to support a bill for the spring 2026 legislative session to license radiologist assistants.

The LSRT’s advocacy efforts have strengthened its partnership with key state government and regulatory agencies and provided a broader awareness and collaboration across the health care community.

ASRT members recommend award nominees, and the ASRT Ambassadors for R.T. Advocacy selects the winners. The 2026 Award for Advocacy recognizes efforts that took place between Oct. 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2025. Learn more about the ASRT Award for Advocacy and see past winners here.

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists’ Be Seen public awareness campaign received honorable mentions in the multi-channel campaign and visual storytelling categories at the 2024 Nonprofit Communications Awards sponsored by PR Daily and Ragan Communications. The awards were announced on Sept. 27 in New York City.

Launched in February 2024, the campaign raises public awareness about the crucial role medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals play in patient diagnosis, intervention and treatment.

The campaign includes five distinct tactical components: a commercial, campaign microsite, social media posts, paid media advertisements and earned media placements. Initial data shows that the campaign has resulted in nearly 50 million impressions through online, social media, earned media, linear television commercial streaming and paid advertising tactics.

According to PR Daily, the awards celebrate the people, organizations and communities whose messages drove awareness and championed the causes that advanced their missions.

To kick off the presidential initiatives of ASRT President Heather Moore, Ph.D., R.T.(R), leaders from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central New Mexico met with ASRT’s staff in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Sept. 6, to highlight the BBBS program and outline volunteer opportunities. “ASRT will promote Big Brothers Big Sisters to its staff and members so they can learn about the organization and hopefully participate,” said Dr. Moore.

In addition to the presentation, ASRT is hosting tours of the ASRT Museum and Archives for BBBS area youth and their adult brothers or sisters in Albuquerque starting on Oct. 10. Students can dive into the rich history of medical imaging and radiation therapy, learn about the profession and interact with the museum’s computerized displays.

The BBBS collaboration is one of Dr. Moore’s three presidential initiatives, which are focused on the current workforce shortage, developing best practices for patient care and introducing middle and high school students to the profession. “I’m confident that my initiatives, combined with ASRT’s resources, will result in positive outcomes for the Society and medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals. Join me as we make a difference in our personal and professional lives,” said Dr. Moore.

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists launched the Magnetic Resonance Student Exam Assessment Library® comprehensive practice tests for members preparing for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists MR imaging certification exam. The MR SEAL® practice tests can also be used as a tool for MR technologists studying for the Structured Self-Assessment as part of the ARRT Continuing Qualifications Requirement process.

Five MR SEAL exams are included with ASRT membership, with eight exams available for members with the Premium membership option. Each online practice test contains 100 questions, covers all major content areas of the certification exam and provides detailed feedback explaining each answer.

More exams are available for purchase in the ASRT Store at the member price of $10. Nonmembers may purchase all SEAL exams for $15 each.

The MR SEAL launch is the fourth SEAL offering in ASRT’s lineup of online practice tests, which includes radiography, radiation therapy and computed tomography exams.
