AHRA Award for Excellence


AHRA is proud to sponsor a prestigious award program to recognize medical imaging professionals for excellence and leadership. Five AHRA members are honored yearly and presented with an award at the AHRA Annual Meeting and Exposition.
 
Nominate an imaging professional who has made a difference for his/her coworkers and colleagues through exceptional innovation, leadership, administrative capabilities, and sharing of expertise and experience. This award emphasizes everyday, on-the-job excellence. Nominations can come from staff, as well as other colleagues in the workplace and industry. It is not necessary to have held leadership positions within the AHRA to qualify for the award.
