Secretary General GeneralI attended the Radiological Society of NorthAmerica (RSNA) at the end of November 2009with Robert George and this was the second timeISRRT had participated as part of the AssociatedSciences group. The ISRRT once again shared a largebooth with the other Associated Sciences memberswhich include the American Society of RadiologicTechnologists (ASRT) and the Canadian Societyof Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT).This complimentary booth gives the ISRRT theopportunity to promote worldwide activities andto distribute literature. As reported last year theISRRT is now fully participating in the educationalprogram at this event and lectures were presentedby Robert George, Cynthia Cowling and Lori Boyd.The Regional Director of the Americas, MichaelWard represented the ISRRT at the program planningsession for 2010 and it was agreed that the sessioninvolving Cynthia Cowling and Lori Boyd should berepeated at RSNA 2010.The European Congress of Radiology in Vienna inMarch 2010 was once again a significant meeting forthe ISRRT. Relationships were maintained with theECR and the IAEA and important meetings were heldwith those organisations and also with the Presidentand officers of the European Society of Radiology(ESR).The meeting with ESR was in conjunction withthe European Federation of Radiographic Societiesand it was agreed that joint participation would be afeature of future Radiographic sessions at ECR. Thesecontacts are extremely important if the participationof the ISRRT in medical radiation protection issues isto continue at its present high level.Last month, April, I took part in an extremelysuccessful radiography program at the InternationalCongress of Radiology in Shanghai which wasfacilitated by Maria Law and Cynthia Cowling. Inaddition to the scientific program I also had theopportunity to meet with the President of the ChineseRadiographic Society and it is hoped that this meetingwill help to promote future contact with radiographersin China.April is also the month in which the GeneralAssembly of the World Health Organisation (WHO)is held and I will be participating in this annualevent. ISRRT is a Non Governmental Organisation(NGO) and it is extremely important that this status ismaintained. This status is not an automatic right forany organisation and every two years the Executiveof WHO meet to decide if an organisation merits tocontinue as an NGO. At the beginning of 2010 theExecutive, having taken into consideration the worldwide work of the ISRRT once again renewed its NGOstatus.In May I will be doing a site visit in Toronto prior tothe 2012 ISRRT World Congress. While in CanadaI will take the opportunity to attend the CAMRTConference in Quebec.The next few months will be extremely busy as Iprepare for the 2010 World Congress in Australia.Most of the work has been done by the localOrganising Committee in Australia and I would liketo thank them for the magnificent job they have done.In addition to the Congress there will also be a Boardand Council meetings. This year elections will be heldfor Board positions and also the results of the ISRRTsurvey undertaken last year will be discussed.Once again I would like to thank all Board members,Council members and members for the help andsupport given and my wife Alison for her help duringthe year.I would also like to thank Robert George for all hiswork and support during his period as President andfor him and Jan welcoming us into their home inAdelaide.Sandy YuleCEO, ISRRTVolume 46 – No. 1 7
