Dear Members of NYSSRS and our Esteemed Community, Happy New Year to all! I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season shared with friends and family. It was great to see everyone at our 75th Annual NYSSRS & 3rd dual NYSSRS & RTANYS Conference this past November at the Doubletree Hotel in Schenectady. It is always heartwarming to see familiar faces reconnect and share new personal and professional experiences with each other. It is through networking opportunities, such as these conferences, that we collaborate and form innovative ideas to help our society continue to grow and flourish. I would like to extend my gratitude to our new and returning professional members, associate members, student members, and vendors who attended the event. Without your continued support, NYSSRS would be unable to achieve its mission. As I step into the role of President of NYSSRS, I am filled with a sincere sense of enthusiasm, appreciation, and responsibility. As a practicing radiologic technologist and radiography educator, I cannot help but think back on my first day as a student radiographer. On this first day of class, the program faculty gave us students some words of advice to thrive in the field of medical imaging: “Accept change easily.” These words have developed into a mantra that helps me grow through life professionally and personally, as the only thing that seems to be permanent is change itself. With the help of our dedicated team of board members, I am eager to instill these words of wisdom, while also balancing our society’s longstanding ideals, morals, values, and vision, as our organization continues to grow. The upcoming year will be filled with some exciting changes, professional development, and opportunities for us to advocate for our profession across New York State, including: 1. 76th Annual Conference – NEW VENUE Fall 2025: After reviewing your feedback from the 2024 conference, we are pleased to announce that the 76th Annual NYSSRS & 4th dual NYSSRS & RTANYS conference will be held at Rivers Casino & Resort/The Landing Hotel in Schenectady, NY. This year, the conference will be held Thursday October 23rd – Saturday October 25th, 2025. Please mark your calendars! Conference registration and hotel booking information will soon be sent to members via e-mail and will be posted on our website at nyssrs.org 2. Educational Opportunities: We are in the process of arranging a free online Continuing Education credit to be provided to our members. Information will be forthcoming and posted on our website. 3. ASRT Educational Symposium and Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting: This year, the ASRT House of Delegates meeting will be held June 19th – June 22nd, 2025, in Reno, NV. Our Delegates this year are me and Tabitha Sabater. Our Alternates are Courteney Oare and Robert O’Brien. As we begin the new year together, I look forward to working with you all to continue to elevate and promote the highest standards of patient care to our communities and to protect the general welfare of our profession. Best regards,
Kullen C. Bailey MS R.T.(R)(CT)(ARRT) President of the Board New York State Society of Radiologic Sciences (NYSSRS)
