75th OSRT ANNUAL MEETING 2004

Speaker Anne Obergfell cancelled due to conflict in her schedule was replaced with Paul Laudicina, Forensic Radiographer, as keynote speaker for the 75th OSRT Annual Meeting. Hopefully Anne will be available for next year's conference. 13 CE hours were available to participants after a change in the schedule format. The purpose of not having education on Sunday morning would give attendees an opportunity to take in the visitor attractions or head for home earlier than usual. It would also decrease the overhead costs for the meeting. A group dinner was planned for Friday and no banquet on Saturday evening. The installation of officers was moved up to take place at the Saturday luncheon when the majority of the attendees are present. Hopefully, this format provides for more interactions among the participants at the meeting. The results from the surveys were favorable to the changes made this year. We will follow a similar schedule for our 2005 meeting in Eugene.

In celebration of the 75th OSRT annual meeting, at the Friday dinner, a speaker from The Shane Company gave the group a brief history presentation about diamonds with interesting facts. Afterwards, a reception with a Hawaiian theme was held with Susan Castanette in the presidential suite for all interested to socialize and share ideas.

New officers were elected and a candlelight installation ceremony took place at the Saturday luncheon and business session. They are as follows:

Students representatives, Thomas King, Katie Stephen, and Sheri McBreen from the college programs were mentored with a committee person throughout the conference. The student mentor program patterned after the ASRT program hopes to stimulate young professionals to participate in the future of their state organization. Also, a request was made for anyone interested to be a link in the network process throughout the state to please sign up. Several did sign up as a contact for their area but more are needed to get the last minute information out to technologists when their voice could have an impact on the future of our profession. Please notify the OSRT executive office at or 1-888-286-7780 if you would like to participate as a contact person.

There were special prizes for new members and OSRT members. Door prizes were available throughout the conference thanks to the work of Michael Saker obtaining donations from sponsors. A raffle peaked the interest of many as major prizes such as a DVD player and Stereo were drawn for at the end of the education portion of the conference on Saturday.

OSRT Annual Meeting Minutes for 2002

A weekend of education and business conducted April 11-13, 2002 at the Seven Feathers Casino and Resort in Canyonville, Oregon provided the setting for the OSRT 73rd Annual Meeting. A combined meeting with the Oregon Mammography District provided additional educational opportunities and drew in more commercial representatives. The meeting participants mingled freely among the vendors in between sessions. A prize was given to the participant that could find the most answers to the OSRT history questionnaire.

Barbara Smith shared information during the business luncheon on Saturday April 13, 2002 regarding Darrell Hockin. He retired from Radiation Protection Services this past year. Darrell has supported OSRT throughout his career. He served as Vice President. At that time, his superiors felt serving as an officer in OSRT presented a conflict of interest so Darrell was unable to continue as a leader in the society. However, Darrell has always been available to provide guidance by sharing information and offering suggestions to all who requested. He has presented many lectures to aid the technologist in acquiring continuing education. Recognizing all of Darrell's contributions of support, the OSRT bestowed upon him Honorary Membership in the Oregon Society of Radiologic Technologists.

Richard Fucillo, Speaker of the House of Delegates and an ASRT Fellow, spoke a few words of what it means to be a Fellow. Barbara Smith had received notification that she was being elevated to an ASRT Fellow at the Annual Meeting in Birmingham, Alabama. He presented her with a gift from the OSRT that consisted of a large planter filled with wine and microbrews.

Entertainment from the Wildlife Safari was provided after the Saturday Banquet. An alligator was one of the unusual animals viewed with a photo and petting session to follow.

Darrell Hockin - Honorary Member
Barbara Smith - A Fellow
