ASRT TO WAIVE DUES OF DEPLOYED MILITARY MEMBERS The ASRT Board of Directors has voted to waive the membership renewal dues of any ASRT member deployed for U.S. military service after Sept. 11, 2001, as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The waiver applies to R.T.s who are deployed by the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force or Marine Corps. It also applies to ASRT members who are activated by the Reserves or the National Guard. "Hundreds of ASRT members are active-duty members of the military or serve as reservists or members of National Guard units," said ASRT Board Chairman Michael DelVecchio, B.S., R.T.(R). "Should any of them be called upon to serve as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, they will not have to pay their ASRT membership dues for the duration of their deployment." Mr. DelVecchio said the dues waiver is designed to offer additional support to military R.T.s who are called overseas or called to active duty. "Although small, it will be one less thing for these R.T.s to worry about," he said.=20 To qualify for the dues waiver, the radiologic technologist must have been an ASRT member as of Sept. 11, 2001, and must be deployed for military service after Sept. 11, 2001. When members who meet these criteria receive their next dues renewal notice from ASRT, they should return it to ASRT with a copy of their deployment orders. The ASRT then will waive the member's dues for the following year. The dues waiver applies only to renewals of membership, not to new ASRT memberships. -ASRT- |
