    Complete a Demographics Survey and Qualify to Win an Apple Video iPod

    A brief ACR Demographics Survey is included with the 2007 dues invoices, which, when returned, qualifies members to win one of several Apple video iPods.

    The ACR is collecting demographic information in an effort to make members’ College experience a unique and rewarding one. The survey collects information on members and their practice environment and will be used to assist us with representing the broader interests of the profession, while better understanding the ever-evolving practice of radiology.

    You can return the survey by mail using the yellow reply envelope enclosed with the invoice. You can also fax it to (703) 264-2093.
