ABII Board of Trustees

Representing varied and valuable backgrounds, the members of ABII’s Board of Trustees work together to effectively advance the organization’s mission, establish policy, monitor and strengthen programs and more.

Three Trustees are nominated by the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) – the national professional membership organization representing healthcare informatics and three Trustees are nominated by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) – the national certification agency for medical imaging; in addition, one individual, the Public Trustee, is appointed to represent the public interest.

As volunteers, the Trustees share their passion for their profession, as well as their time and commitment, to set high standards for patient care and evolve the informatics industry in healthcare. ABII is grateful for their involvement.

If you share their passion in this field, please consider offering your expertise as a volunteer.
