25 years at the JRCERT (Cont’d From Front Page)
“Twenty-five years later, many things have changed but Leslie’s dedication to the
organization and the profession remains as strong as ever.”
MR Curriculum
Adopted
At the October 2020 JRCERT
Board of Directors meeting, the
Board voted to adopt the new
2020 magnetic resonance
curriculum developed by the
American Society of Radiologic
Technologists (ASRT). The new
curriculum has an
implementation date of April 1,
2022. The magnetic resonance
curriculum analysis grid will be
revised to accommodate the
changes made to the
curriculum. The new grid will be
posted on the JRCERT website
once it is available.

through several Standards revisions, expansion of the organization’s scope of accreditation,
and the various economic struggles of the 2000s and 2010s. Twenty-five years later, many
things have changed but Leslie’s dedication to the organization and the profession remains as
strong as ever. While staff was not able to meet in person, the office celebrated virtually with
Leslie on October 2, 2020 and wish her many more years with the organization.
October 2020 Board Update
On October 15, 2020, the JRCERT Board of Directors met for the second of their semiannual
business meetings in 2020. As with the Board’s meeting in April, the Board met virtually in
order to promote the health and safety of the Board and staff. The Board continued
to discuss topics and hear reports from committees and other meetings.
At the conclusion of the April 2021 Board Meeting, Bette Schans, Ph.D., R.T.(R), FASRT, and
Lorie Zelna, M.S., R.T.(R), will conclude their six-year terms as directors on the JRCERT
Board. JRCERT staff and the rest of the directors will be sad to see Dr. Schans and
Ms. Zelna leave as they have both provided countless hours of service to the organization.
While Dr. Schans and Ms. Zelna will be leaving the Board, two new directors will be installed
at the conclusion of the April 2021 Meeting. These two incoming directors were nominated
from the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) and the Association of
Collegiate Educators in Radiologic Technology (ACERT) and were elected by the current
Board during the October 2020 Meeting. The Board thanks all of those interviewed during
the nomination and election process. Meredith Brown, M.S., R.T.(R) was nominated by
ACERT and is currently the program director at the McLennan Community College
radiography program in Waco, Texas. Kae Fleming, Ed.D., R.T.(R) was nominated by the
ASRT and is currently the Dean of Health Sciences at Columbia State Community College in
Columbia, Tennessee. The JRCERT Board and staff are looking forward to having Ms. Brown
and Dr. Fleming join the organization and bring their invaluable knowledge.
