ALBUQUERQUE - The American Society of Radiologic Technologists announced the promotion of two of its senior staff members. DuVonne Campbell was promoted from vice president of member services to executive vice president and chief customer officer. Formerly the vice president of communications, Nora J. Tuggle is now the executive vice president and chief marketing and communications officer for ASRT.

Campbell, who has been a registered radiologic technologist for more than 35 years, came to ASRT in 1995 where she started in the Customer Information Department. In 1998, she became the director of government relations, and later, the vice president of member services. Prior to ASRT, she worked to develop and open a free-standing MRI facility in the Kansas City, Mo. Ms. Campbell has a bachelor's degree in health care management from Ottawa University, in Ottawa, Kan.

Tuggle, a former Marine Corps public affairs officer, newspaper editor and columnist, has more than 30 years' combined media, corporate and association experience. She received a master's degree in management from Webster University, in Albuquerque, N.M., and a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Prior to joining the ASRT staff in 1990, she worked for The Retired Officers Association in Alexandria, Va.

In addition to being promoted, both Campbell and Tuggle recently earned the Certified Association Executive credential. Presented by the American Society of Association Executives, the CAE is the highest professional credential in the association industry. ASAE is a membership organization with more than 22,000 association executives and industry partners, representing nearly 11,000 organizations. Its members manage leading trade associations, individual membership societies and voluntary organizations across the United States and in 50 countries around the globe.

To receive the CAE credential, applicants must:

* Have a minimum of three years experience in nonprofit organization management,
* Complete a minimum of 75 hours of specialized professional development, and
* Pledge to uphold a code of ethics.

Individuals must also undertake ongoing professional development and activities in association and nonprofit management to maintain their certification. Less than 5 percent of all association professionals and only 13 other individuals in New Mexico have achieved this distinction, including ASRT's other senior management team members. They are chief executive officer, Lynn May; chief operating officer, Sal Martino, PhD; and chief knowledge officer, Greg Morrison, in addition to ASRT's director of government relations, Christine J. Lung.
