Amanda Garlock, M.S., R.T.(R)(MR) of Marysville, Washington, was elected to serve as ASRT's 2016-2017 president-elect. She will serve one term as president-elect, one term as president and one term as chairman of the Board, in accordance with ASRT Bylaws.

“I know it’s a cliché, but it truly is an honor to be elected president-elect of the ASRT,” Garlock said. “I’m humbled by the faith members have in my ability to lead this profession, and I aim to leave a positive, lasting impression on the profession as a whole.”

Melissa Jackowski, Ed.D., R.T.(R)(M), of Willow Spring, North Carolina, is the Board’s new vice president. She is a competency management development specialist at Siemens Healthcare in Cary, North Carolina and currently serves as secretary-treasurer.

“I am honored and excited to have been elected as vice president,” Jackowski said. “Honored because I understand the great responsibility, and excited because I have an opportunity to have a positive influence on the profession I love, on our membership and on the quality of care our patients receive.”

Stephanie Johnston, M.S.R.S, R.T.(R)(M)(BS), of Holliday, Texas, will serve as the 2016-2017 secretary-treasurer. She is director of the Breast Center of Texoma in Wichita Falls, Texas. She has previously held the roles of president and chairman, in both the Texas and New Mexico affiliate societies.

“My experience with various organizations prepared me well to serve the membership as secretary-treasurer, a position I am honored to be entrusted with,” Johnston said. “I look forward to representing the members and making the changes that will advance and strengthen the profession.”

The new officers will begin their one-year terms immediately following the conclusion of the 2016 ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting, June 23-26, in Las Vegas.

Immediately following the meeting, current President-elect Michael Latimer, M.S.R.S., R.T.(R), will become the ASRT president for the 2016-2017 term, and current President Sandra Hayden, M.A., R.T.(T), FASRT, will be elevated to chairman of the Board.
