ASRT To Hold Special Election

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists 2025 election in February will include a special election ballot to fill the vacated 2024-2025 Board of Directors president-elect seat.

The annual election offers ASRT voting members the opportunity to elect officers and chapter delegates.

By casting their vote on the special election ballot, members will vote in a new president-elect for the remainder of the 2024-2025 Board term. In addition, members will vote to elect the next president-elect for the 2025-2026 term as part of the annual election ballot.

When the company that manages the election tallies the votes in March 2025, the Society will follow the process below, as outlined in the ASRT Bylaws:

• The member who wins the special election component will immediately start serving on the Board as president-elect and finish out the 2024-2025 term. The individual will then be elevated to president for the 2025-2026 term after being duly installed during the Installation of Officers event at the close of the 2025 ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting in Reno, Nevada.
• The member who wins the regular annual election will serve as president-elect for the 2025-2026 term after being duly installed during the Installation of Officers event at the close of the 2025 ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting in Reno, Nevada.

The special election is required per ASRT Bylaws as Daniel DeMaio, M.Ed., R.T.(R)(CT), recently resigned from his position as president-elect. "I have decided to pursue a new professional direction that precludes me from continuing my volunteer service with the ASRT at this time," said DeMaio.

ASRT members who meet the qualifications and are interested in running for president-elect or nominating another qualified ASRT member to run on the special election ballot may submit nominations through the ASRT election web page during the nomination period, Oct. 14-25.
