Lessons Learned (Cont’d From Front Page)

The safety and well-being of our program faculty, students, site visitors, and JRCERT staff are
always at the forefront of our decision making. It is uncertain when educators and students
may return to the classrooms or face-to-face site visits may resume. We continue to respond
in a proactive and dynamic manner in the environment in which we operate. It has been said
that a crisis is an excellent opportunity to prepare for the next crisis. With that being said, it
is important to revisit your plan periodically to assure it is up-to-date.
As always, the JRCERT staff is available to assist you with any questions you may have.
Stay safe and healthy.

April 2020 Board Update

On April 15, 2020, the JRCERT Board of Directors met for the first of their semiannual
business meetings in 2020. The Board regularly meets in April and October to discuss
important topics related to the organization, the radiologic sciences, and the medical
imaging profession. Historically, the Board meets at the JRCERT office in Chicago over two
days. To promote the health and safety of the Board and staff, the meeting was condensed
into one day and held using video-conferencing. The Board was still able to discuss topics
including the 2021 Standards, reports from committees and meetings, and the continuing
accreditation of several programs.
At the conclusion of the meeting, David P. Daugherty, Jr., M.B.A., C.R.A., R.T.(R)(CT)(MR),
FACHE, was installed as a new director. David is the Market Sr. Director of Imaging Services
at Novant Health, which is based in Winston-Salem, NC. David was nominated by the
Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) and will provide valuable insight from
the employers’ perspective regarding the medical imaging profession. The JRCERT Board
and staff welcome David and look forward to working with him.
