I don’t know about you, but this is the time of year when I begin to get restless with anticipation. The warm, sunny skies with temperatures in the 80’s, and the end of school for my kids, is a sure indicator that summer is right around the corner. This can only mean one thing – AHRA’s Annual Meeting and Exposition is drawing closer.

During National Volunteer Week, I’m honored to have this opportunity to thank the countless volunteers for their contributions to the medical imaging profession. Each year, hundreds of AHRA’s members contribute their time, talents, and creativity to serve the organization in various capacities.

On July 22, 2018 I had the honor to present at our annual meeting in Orlando. My presentation, “That was easy” outlined my team’s journey to patient satisfaction. My practice run at the local meeting allowed me the opportunity to work out the kinks for the annual meeting.

Those three short days in San Antonio taught me so much. Since I have been back I have been able to hire staff for difficult job openings and with the help of the AHRA forum we are working on restructuring our Ultrasound schedule to provide better coverage and better work life balance for our technologists.
