Dear Colleague,
As we, as a community, try to step away from the pandemic into newer, more exciting times, your Board is pleased to announce many exciting, NEW things about your 2022 conference in Schenectady, New York.
To start with, it will be in beautiful Schenectady, NY, just a few hours from NYC. This quaint location offers a fresh look for our conference. Schenectady is home of a nearby Casino, aquarium and many historical sites.
This in-person conference will be held September 22-24 and will be a DUAL event with RTANYS, the Radiation Therapy Association of New York State. This conference will offer unique networking opportunities along with at least 10 topical CE credits. Our dual conference will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton, just five minutes from Rivers Casino. Thanks to vendor sponsorships, this year’s conference will be less expensive than past years – how’s that for NEW?
Please plan to join us for this event, earlier this year, in September. It will include student events, a new place to explore and excellent opportunities for all of us to collaborate. Remember, this is an election year. If you are interested, please reach out to our Nominating Committee Chair, Tabitha Sabater.
In closing, I’d like to thank each of you for your support to our profession and organization and let you know that we are looking forward to sharing a few surprises this year involving a new program to recognize and celebrate technologists!
All the Best,
Ray

Dear Friends,
On behalf of our entire board and committee chairs, we hope that this finds you and your family well.
As we enter the fifteenth month of COVID-19, we appear to see the light at the end of the long tunnel. With most of our population vaccinated and with continued vigilance, we are starting to get back to normalcy in our personal and professional lives.
Your NYSSRS board has met six times since October of 2020. Five of those meetings were held via Zoom and the last one, our spring board meeting, was held in-person in April.
It was during this in-person meeting that we decided to have an in-person annual conference in Corning, NY on October 21-23, 2021. Careful precautionary steps to keep everyone safe including social distancing and cleaning protocols will be taken.
There were other changes made as a result of listening to many of you in the past. These include:
v *NEW FEATURE* After the annual conference, we will be offering 1-2 virtual presentations on a given date after our conference in October, 2021 (to be announced) to all members, free of charge.
v The Student Quiz Bowl will be held on Friday, October 22nd instead of on Saturday. Doing this will give our students a chance to focus their preparatory attention earlier in the conference so that they can better enjoy the rest of it.
v A focus of this board is to become more involved in legislative bills in the NYS Assembly & Senate. We have coordinated with the ASRT to display a legislative link on our NYSSRS.org website so that you can see the key issues involving our profession. We have also petitioned our legislators on certain advocacy issues.
There is more to share at our annual meeting in Corning, NY. Our goal is to make you proud to be a member of the NYSSRS, so much so, that you feel empowered to support your profession as you see fit.
Wishing you a safe and fun summer season.
All the Best,
Ray
