Greetings!
It's another fine fall day here in Rapid City, and with the Fall season comes renewal time for our
annual memberships to the South Dakota Society of Radiologic Technologists. Membership
information can be found here under the "About Us" tab. Scroll down to "Membership" and all the
directions are there. Membership can be done completely on line or filled out and mailed in. If you
are not a current member and are interested or would like to be a member, we invite you to join and
be a part of one of the strongest affiliates of the ASRT.
The Fall Board Meeting was held recently in Kimball, SD. I would like to take the time to thank our
host and our Legislative Contact Sharon Wartenbee (Sharon is a SDSRT Life Member and ASRT
Fellow) for the outstanding hospitality. We met on Friday night and had supper and caught up on
everything going on in our lives. On Saturday we held the Board Meeting and covered many areas
needing attention within the SDSRT. The agenda is posted on our website with meeting minutes to
be added soon.
The Radiologic Technologist Programs throughout the state continue to provide strong membership
within the society. In return the society provides a source for all those who want to be involved and
be fully engaged within their professions. South Dakota was fortunate enough to have some
outstanding students chosen to intern within the SDSRT and the ASRT. Ben Davis and Jill
Deutscher were both selected as student interns with the ASRT; and Amanda Munderloh and
Alyssa Klein are the current SDSRT student interns. Ben, Jill and Amanda attended the ASRT
House of Delegates meeting in Albuquerque, NM and received a good look at some of the behind
the scenes activities in maintaining the standards of our professions. If you are a student looking for
a professional advancement opportunity and would like to find out more on this internship, please
go to our website and contact us or apply for the internship by completing an application under the
Student Internship tab.
Our society wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for all of the members of the SDSRT and
especially the dedication and support from our life members. I wish to thank everyone for your
continued support and if you would like to run for one of the future SDSRT Board positions, please
let us know.
Please feel free to check this site out and look around. The SDSRT will be featured in the Dec/Jan
ASRT Scanner Article "Closer to Home" providing information on the new web site.
The SDSRT continues to be one of the strongest and most active affiliates of the American Society
of Radiologic Technologists in the nation. We continue to work with the other state affiliates and the
ASRT in supporting the CARE Bill legislation.
The Spring Conference in April will be here before we know it. The conference is a great time,
offering multiple educational meetings, entertainment and the best part of all, the chance to meet
our counterparts from throughout the state and surrounding states. I hope to see all of you in
Watertown on April 19-21 in 2012.
Thank you,
Mark Harder B.S. RT(R)(CT)(T)
