Technologist of the Year Nominee: Denise Moore, MS, RT(R)
Denise Moore is currently the OSRT webmaster. She has been instrumental with updating and maintaining the OSRT website. She has spent countless training hours and works closely with the Board of Directors and committee chairs to ensure that the website is always up to date with important information, all on a volunteer basis. The OSRT website has needed several application updates over the years and Denise is always on top of those changes to ensure members have important information at their fingertips. Along with all the hours Denise spends maintaining the website, she was also the 2018 Annual Meeting co-chair and has recently chaired the Annual Meeting Format Guide Taskforce. Denise is such a valuable asset to the OSRT and its membership.
