In this episode

Four things worth your time

Volunteerism Is the Engine: How leadership, education and community in the radiology business get built by members who put their hand up, and what that produces for the wider industry.

Inside the PaRADigm Speaker Process: How sessions are selected, what makes a proposal work, and why the room is more welcoming to a first-time speaker than most people expect.

I-LEAD and the RBMA Foundation: The leadership program and the Foundation-funded scholarships, who they are built for, and how members reach them.

Vendors Belong Here Too: Why partner participation strengthens the association rather than crowding it, and how to contribute expertise without turning it into a pitch.
