Otto, Carol, Sandy, Franz, Doug, Andy, and countless others have added to my knowledge and perspective of this wonderful and diverse profession. Where else can you hear from highly esteemed professors, NRC members, Vendors, and others on topics of interest to many of us? I’ve thought before about petitioning ABHP and NRRPT to allow CEUs for Radsafe membership, I know it has added greatly to my professional base of knowledge and challenged my perspectives. And I’ve made many professional friends here as well!
