AHRA announces campaign to reach 6,000 members

The Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) recently announced a new campaign to reach 6,000 members, according to an association press release.

Currently sitting at more than 5,000 members, the AHRA’s membership campaign will continue through its annual meeting’s closing session on July 25, and will feature recruitment mailings and volunteer outreach, advertising in publications and a national social media campaign announcing the launch of a membership referral program.

“We believe building our membership will promote greater collaboration and sharing between members, increase AHRA’s potential for education and innovation, and offer new opportunities for all of us to inspire and to be inspired,” said Tom Wall, AHRA Membership Committee Chair in the release. “New members are key to maintaining the vibrant community that makes AHRA a primary professional home for so many medical imaging leaders.”
