What is the ACR Chapter Executive Update? |
|
|
|
|
Spring is officer changing season for many ACR chapters, making this a good time to welcome new readers. The ACR Chapter Executive Update is a bi-monthly, electronic publication for chapter officers and chapter administrators. It is a timely way to share information about ACR events and deadlines. It is also a venue to share information about chapter activities. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. |

There was a strong turnout for the ACR Chapter Executive
Director/Secretary meeting held on 10 May in conjunction with the ACR Annual Meeting
and Chapter Leadership Conference. We
will publish notes from this meeting in the next few weeks so everyone can
benefit from the knowledge shared during this session. If you attended this meeting, please consider sharing your
impressions about this meeting or ideas for future meetings. You may do this by contacting Kelly Foster

Time to Review Councilor/Alternate Rosters |
|
|
|
|
In
keeping with ACR bylaws, all councilors and alternate councilors with terms
expiring this year will end on 31 May 2003.
The Office of Council and Chapter Services recently sent out a memo
via email to chapter presidents, secretaries or secretary/treasurers and executive
staff asking chapters to review their rosters. Ideally, we would like to have all updated information by 31
July 2003. If your chapter will not
have elected new councilors and alternates by this date, please let us know. You
may submit councilor and alternate councilor rosters in writing either via
email (chapters@acr.org), via post (see
mailing address above) or via fax (703.262.9319). |

Collecting Feedback from Congressional
Visits |
|
|
|
|
Collecting feedback from the
Congressional visits ACR members made last week is a very important part of
maintaining an effective government relations program. Please help us collect this information by
encouraging your members who made Congressional visits to return a Congressional
Response Form. An electronic copy of
this form is attached to this email.
If you have difficulty viewing the attachment, please contact the
Office of Council and Chapter Services at either chapters@acr.org of 800.227.5643, ext. 4353
to request a fax copy. As you may recall, each chapter earns $200 for every chapter member who made a Congressional visit and returns a Congressional Response Form to the ACR. You will receive more information in the near future about the distribution of these funds as well as the funding for a CAC member to attend the meeting. |

Internship Opportunities
for Residents at the ACR |
|
|
|
|
The J.T. Rutherford Government Relations and James M. Moorefield
Economics internships are unique opportunities for residents to learn about
the political and economic work of the ACR and it’s chapters. Resident interns receive financial support
to come to the ACR office in Reston to work with ACR staff and learn about
the impact socioeconomic issues have on the profession of radiology. If you know a resident who would be interested in gaining a
broader perspective on the profession, please encourage him or her to apply
for either of these internships. More
information is available in the resident section of the ACR Web site, under
educational information. CLICK HERE
for a direct link. |
