                    $15 million Silver Anniversary Campaign goal.

                    Corporations donated and pledged $6.7 million to the
                    Campaign, launched at RSNA 2005. Private practices
                    donated another $1.2 million, and individual giving reached
                    an amazing $7.7 million as individual donors lent their
                    support.

                    their start with RSNA R&E Foundation grants over these
                    past 25 years,” said Jack E. Price, Foundation Board of
                    Trustees chair. “As a result, they have received millions in
                    subsequent funding from the National Institutes of Health
                    (NIH) and other sources, and have launched outstanding
                    careers that have led to incredible breakthroughs in the
                    field,” he said. “It’s wonderful to see that donors have

THE FUTURE
PIONEERS

As pioneers of rigorous science and cutting-edge technology,
radiologic professionals are uniquely positioned to make
the healthcare system better for all patients. “We must
safeguard professionalism, develop our quality focus and
take control of radiology’s destiny by delivering value,”
challenged Dr. Becker in 2009.


Supported by the work of exceptionally dedicated volunteers,
                                    l
RSNA will continue to lead the specialty of radiology.

Becker, M.D., 2009 President A NEW ERA The Vision The Challenge USHERING IN In 2009, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) named a new executive director and launched When the Board updated its strategic plan, it added an important new goal—to shape and advance the future A NEW ERA OF bold new initiatives to help its members remain top of radiology. This new goal encompasses a variety of performers in their field and to help transform the science objectives: and practice of radiology, ushering in a new era of medical MEDICAL CARE care that is more efficient, more accessible and more patient-centered. • Convening radiology thought leaders to articulate a vision for the future of the specialty • Increasing awareness and stimulating the pursuit of NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR cutting-edge developments and research opportunities In April 2009, Mark G. Watson became the Society’s vital to radiology’s future executive director. He had served RSNA in a variety of • Preparing professionals in the radiologic sciences for capacities for almost 20 years, including interim executive an increasingly quantitative future director and assistant executive director for finance and • Advancing the frontiers of radiology informatics administration.
