Charles Washington – Houston, TX
It is an honor and a privilege to accept the nomination for the office of TSRT President-Elect. I am currently
Director for Clinical Services and Operations in the Division of Radiation oncology at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston. I have had the opportunity to serve the TSRT membership in the past as a member of several
committees and on the Board, and look forward to the opportunity to serve the medical imaging community again.
With
the ever-changing technology and business influences associated with Healthcare in general, it is very important for Radiologic
professionals to fully understand the dynamics of the field in order to ensure professional equity and position, both now
and in the future. TSRT is uniquely positioned to represent all radiologic technologists in the state in addressing
new and old legislative directions and associated professional positioning. I believe that TSRT can strategically and
tactically maintain and address these points with the efforts of its strongest asset, the society membership. My goal
in this leadership role will be to maintain and grow that resource so that TSRT is positioned for years to come to serve the
needs of the membership.
Sandra Hayden – Pearland, TX
I am honored to be nominated
for the office of First Vice President. I will do my best to uphold the professional standards of this great society while
placing, our members, the public and the patients that we serve my top priority. I am currently serving in the ASRT House
of Delegates as the National Radiation Therapy Chapter Delegate as well as being recently appointed to the Commission. I bring
to the state of Texas by experience of holding several offices on the Board of the Michigan Society of Radiologic
Technologists. Having been the President, Second Vice President, Secretary, Annual Meeting Co-Chair, and State Affiliate Delegate
for Michigan. I am willing to use the knowledge I gained
to further the mission of the Texas Society and serve the board and the membership to my fullest capacity. Thank you for this
wonderful opportunity.

For
the office of Second Vice President
Lois Lehman – Dallas, TX
It is
my privileged to accept the nomination for the office of TSRT 2nd Vice President.
I became an active member in Radiologic Technology professional societies when I moved to Dallas
in 1971 and joined the Dallas Area RT Society (DARTS). Through the years
I have volunteered as an officer with DARTS, served on many educational committees with DARTS and TSRT, and presented numerous
lectures on Pediatric Radiology at local, state, national, and international seminars.
I am currently the Assistant Director of Radiology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, TX.
Next
to my love of pediatrics is my interest and joy of teaching radiographers and future radiographers. I have happily served as Preceptor - Clinical Instructor for El Centro
Community College and Midwestern
State University Schools
of Radiologic Sciences for over a decade. As the 2nd Vice President
serves students and educators, I believe this is excellent opportunity for me to take my wonder of teaching to the next level.

For
the office of Third Vice President
Diana Mathai – Houston, TX
I am honored to accept the nomination for the position
of Third Vice-President of TSRT. I have enjoyed previously working with TSRT
as the Educational Alliance Chair. I have worked in the field of radiography
for over eleven years, and my current position is in the Texas Medical Center
as the Clinical Coordinator for the Harris County Hospital District’s School
of Medical Radiography. Currently
I am working to complete my MSRS degree at Midwestern State University. I have continually been involved
in all aspects of the profession, including the organization of CE activities/seminars, initiating professional organizations
for imaging professionals within my community, and educating the next generation of imaging professionals.
The field of radiography is both diverse and challenging. As the demographics
of our profession change, we are seeking to develop leadership, promote friendship,
and provide services to the imaging community that would further the intellectual and professional growth of our field. My
goal as an imaging professional is to preserve the integrity of the profession and to uphold the mission of TSRT so that membership
may be increased and future generations of imaging professionals proud to be part of a legacy.
