I would like now to write about what is on the agenda for the year 2012.

1. Be more active with our affiliates. I hope to attend at least one meeting of each of our affiliates. I already am planning to attend the next meeting of the Rochester State Society, which is being held later this month. If I am unable to attend, I will be at the February 15 meeting. I also plan on meeting with the AERT, NSSRT, and Capital District society presidents about their planned meeting schedule(s).

2. I also plan to make some strategically placed visits to areas I think have a potential to gain members for our society. This is what I feel is the most important aspect of my role as President of NYSSRS.

3. Continue to involve new volunteers in the operations of the NYSSRS. I knew when I took over as President that we needed to get away from the “20% of the board doing 90% of the work” culture. I am happy to tell you that this year, five new individuals (that are not present board members) played a significant role in the planning an implementation of our annual conference). 

4. Grow membership. I have some statistical information that should bring to light some of the opportunities and challenges that face us as we try to grow our membership.

With that, I sign off, but only temporarily. I will certainly be in touch, and should anybody have any ideas, or thought that could benefit the NYSSRS, please do not hesitate to contact me at kmartnucci@aol.com..
...thank you
New York State Society of Radiologic Sciences
