Message from the Presidentand Executive DirectorThe past twelve months have been very difficult for our economy. Recession,unemployment, bankruptcy, bailouts, and stock market decline have becomekey words of this time. Healthcare faces the additional burden of uncertainty rela-tive to contemplated reforms.

We wish we could say that AHRA has been immune from these realities, but wehave had a challenging year. Membership renewals, meeting attendance, andadvertising revenues have all been significantly lower than normal. Thesedeclines have been consistent with other organizations. But there is some GOODNEWS!

In its 36 years of existence, AHRA has been well managed and previous leader-ship had the foresight to do two things. First, they established a very clear visionof what our purpose and mission should be. And, second, they established andfunded a reserve investment account to be available for difficult times or for newopportunities.

As we began preparing our 2009 budget back in October 2008 and as we havemonitored our results over the past months, the board of directors has beenchallenged to make some difficult decisions. Clearly, programs and servicesneeded to be analyzed and cost controls implemented. Because we have a clearvision to be the premier medical imaging management organization by provid-ing our members with first class education, networking, and professional devel-opment opportunities we were able to establish an efficient process to rank ourprograms and services against that benchmark. The board concluded that mostof what we do does have critical relevance to our mission.

As we then evaluated each program, we made some timing and efficiencyadjustments to improve cash flow. The board was very determined, however, notto make any changes to our key programs such as the annual meeting, insteadagreeing to use reserve funds to maintain the quality programs for which we areknown.

As you read the following pages of this annual report, you will see that, despitethe challenging economic times, we have had a busy, successful year. Thank youto all our member volunteers who spent countless hours working on our behalf.Thank you to all of our members who attended a meeting, purchased a product,or participated in our List Server. Your involvement keeps the AHRA vibrant andsuccessful as“The Association for Medical Imaging Management.”

Publications

Radiology Management

The bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal is rated the most valuable AHRAproduct, program, or service among members according to a 2008membership survey. As the premier publication for medical imagingleaders, Radiology Management provides in-depth articles and expertcolumns that provide guidance to professionals in hospital, imagingcenter, and group practice environments.

Link

Link, AHRA’s monthly member newsletter, is moving from print toelectronic only in 2009. This industry trend is a timely communicationtool, allowing AHRA to deliver and update information instantaneous-ly. This format change will also help the association better interactwith members and deliver on needs in a more judicious way byencouraging much more reader interaction with the ability to ratearticles, leave comments, search for articles in the archives, print andemail articles, and navigate easily to other parts of AHRA’s Web site orexternal sites.

As another major benefit, the move to a Web-based format will vastlyimprove our carbon footprint, saving trees, energy, and CO2 emis-sions.

CertificationSince 2002, more than 700 professionals have earned the only credential formedical imaging administration. The Certified Radiology Administrator(CRA) credential was tailored specifically for medical imaging administrators.The examination focuses on five subject areas that are crucial to successfuladministration: human resource management, asset resource management,fiscal management, operations management, and communication andinformation management. The CRA program, including the examination, ismanaged by the Radiology Administration Certification Commission (RACC),a self-governing body created to maintain the credential's integrity and rel-evance.

CRA-RetiredIn late 2008, the RACC established a CRA-Retired status to allow CRAs whohave retired from the field of imaging administration to maintain a connec-tion to the credential. During the program’s first 6 months, 5 individualshave taken advantage of the opportunity to hold CRA-Retired status.

Immediate ScoringIn early 2009, the RACC established immediate scoring for the May andNovember exam windows. Beginning with the May 2009 exam, all comput-er-based CRA exams are designed to give pass/fail results immediately fol-lowing completion of the exam. CRA candidates who choose to take theexam in the computer format will no longer need to wait 4-6 weeks for examresults.

New CRAsFrom July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, 33 individuals successfully com-pleted the examination and earned the CRA credential. As of June 30, 2009,there are 637 CRAs.

The mission of the AHRA is to be a resource and catalyst for the developmentof professional leadership in imaging. The AHRA Education Foundation(AHRAEF) is committed to supporting that mission and expanding our pro-grams to reach out to every member.

2008 was a busy year! The AHRAEF continued to work on the FoundationPartnership Initiative (FPI) that began in August 2006 by expanding the num-ber of our corporate partnerships and developing innovative and multi-faceted programs which relate directly to the work we all do in imaging. Thephonathon at the 2008 annual meeting brought new emphasis to the needfor member commitment to the AHRAEF. You will see an exciting expansion ofthis program at the 2009 annual meeting.

Scholarship programs have become even more important in the current chal-lenging economic climate. The Broadley Scholarships enable awardees to pur-sue their education goals. Osborne Scholarships allow members to attend theannual meeting as well as the spring and fall conferences. Our partnershipswith AGFA, Hitachi, and Philips have enabled us to offer 10 scholarships forthe 2009 annual meeting to members who might otherwise not have beenable to attend. We are most grateful for their support. The Partners in Learningprogram continues to flourish, providing members first hand experience andmentoring. Promoting the value of the CRA credential continues to be a highpriority and the total number of CRAs continues to grow.

The AHRA Leadership Institute is presented at the annual meeting and the falland spring conferences. The Curriculum Committee has been working dili-gently over the past year to ensure the speakers and presentations are of thehighest quality. The team has developed a certification process for speakers inboth the basic management track and the CRA Exam Workshop. Since itsinception in July 2006, the basic management track of the LeadershipInstitute has had 467 registrants. This is, no doubt, a testimony to the fact weare fulfilling the need for a structured, new leader program for our members.The program committees for the respective meetings continue to do an out-standing job of selecting topics and speakers for the advanced track. In addi-tion, 23 experienced leaders attended the executive level track at GE inWaukesha, Wisconsin in March 2009.

The AHRA membership has acknowledged that education is the key to ourlegacy. The AHRAEF continues to work on supporting that legacy. All of usworking together, combining our talents, resources, and ideas, ensures thefuture of our organization. Your support is the key to our success! It has beenan honor to serve as the AHRAEF Chair over the past year and I look forwardto the continued growth of our organization.

However, the significant decline in the stock market,which began in the second half of 2008, did have a negative impact on theassociation’s long-term investment accounts.

Strategic Plan, Operations, and FinancesThe association’s operations are closely aligned with the strategic planapproved by the AHRA Board of Directors. The board meets to review thisplan throughout the year and, where necessary, make revisions. Each fall,the AHRA executive director and staff use this plan to create an operatingplan for the next fiscal year.

At each November board meeting, the executive director and staff manage-ment team present an operational plan based on AHRA’s strategic goals.This plan includes a budget that allocated the association’s fiscal resourceson programs and other initiatives.

For FY08, AHRA had operating revenue of $3,286,496 and operating expens-es of $3,469,592, for an operating deficit of $183,096, which included a$200,000 pledge payment to the AHRA Education Foundation. In addition,realized and unrealized losses, interest, dividends and capital gain distribu-tions added a loss of $454,567, for a net deficit of $637,663.

Long-Term InvestmentsIt has long been AHRA’s policy to invest any net profit in order to saveenough funds to address a year’s worth of the organization's expenses.AHRA’s investment policy is conservative and designed for the long-term.We recognize that over any given time period our fund may incur losses andthis certainly happened in 2008. At year end, the association's investmentstotalled $1,261,215 – a loss of $475,072. This amount does not meet ouroverall goal, but we believe it will be more than sufficient to continue opera-tions even in a difficult economy

Annual Independent AuditEach year, AHRA undergoes an external audit with an independent auditor.Due to the efforts of the AHRA financial staff, the association consistentlyshows excellent performance. As in previous years, AHRA received anunqualified opinion on its financial reports.

Through responsible fiscal management, the association continues to bestrong in a financial sense. We expect this performance to continue.
