California Wins 2010 ASRT Grass-Roots Award
California dominated the American Society of Radiologic Technologists 2010 Award for Outstanding Grass-roots Advocacy competition as the California Society of Radiologic Technologists was named outstanding affiliate and Lorenza Clausen, R.T.(R)(CT)(MR), of Sacramento, Calif., was honored with the individual award.
"The efforts of the California society and Lorenza are widely recognized within the radiologic science community," said ASRT President Diane Mayo, R.T.(R)(CT). "They've dedicated countless hours to spearheading grass-roots advocacy efforts in California. We are excited to honor them for their achievements."
The CSRT is comprised of volunteer radiologic technologists who spend a significant amount of time in the California state legislature educating lawmakers about the radiologic science profession and the important work of radiologic technologists. Additionally, the society actively engages radiologic science students by offering two mentoring grants annually for students to attend the ASRT's Capitol Hill lobbying event, called "R.T. in D.C." Moreover, the CSRT operates a student legislative committee that teaches other affiliate societies how to create their own student committees.
California's ASRT Governance Conference delegation:
Lorenza Clausen, Barbara Kissel, and Anita Slechta
Ms. Clausen is a magnetic resonance and computed tomography technologist at Mercy General for Catholic Healthcare West in Sacramento. She has been a longtime grass-roots volunteer and currently is a member of the ASRT Committee on R.T. Advocacy. She serves as a mentor to individuals interested in advocating for safer medical imaging and radiation therapy. At the 2010 ASRT R.T. in D.C. advocacy event she mentored five students and showed them how to educate and communicate with elected officials on Capitol Hill. She also manages an advocacy network between six states and serves as the liaison to provide network members with up-to-date legislative information.
Launched in 2003, the ASRT Award for Outstanding Grass-roots Advocacy recognizes ASRT affiliates and members who exemplify high standards in legislative advocacy efforts.
The California society received $500 and a plaque recognizing its service. Ms. Clausen also received a plaque and a $250 prize. The awards were presented during the ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting in Albuquerque, N.M., June 26.
