Spring is the season when Canadian organizations like CAMRT take a moment—or, in fact, a week—to recognize, celebrate and thank our volunteers during National Volunteer Week (NVW), held this year from April 12-18. This year’s theme is “Volunteers are part of the ripple effect.” The 2015 NVW campaign is designed to remind us that a volunteer action is like a stone thrown in a lake: its effect has a direct impact. At the same time, like ripples, volunteer efforts reach out far and wide to improve communities.
Our volunteers are an integral part of the CAMRT community. Their efforts strengthen our capacity to expand awareness and recognition of the medical radiation technology profession across Canada, as well as bolster the CAMRT community. Each and every year, hundreds of members donate their time to assist w
ith the creation and validation of our highly regarded certification exams, advise on professional practice advancements, and enthusiastically promote the profession. There are numerous committees, work-groups, and focus groups that contribute ideas, inspiration, and plain hard work, in support of the vision and mission that propels our profession forward. Their ripple effect is vast, enabling all 12,000 members to benefit in some way from individual contributions of experience and enthusiasm.
Please join me in thanking the hundreds of volunteers who make CAMRT the vibrant, effective association in which we can all take great pride.
Deborah Murley, RTR
President, CAMRT
