Araujo selected to Leadership Academy

Posted by on April 24th, 2013

The SAHP and RSTE would like to recognize Christina Araujo for being selected to the 2013 Leadership Academy, which was held in New Orleans, LA. The academy was a two-day course with an assemblage of current Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) leadership, focusing on key members of the SNMMI, and SNMMI staff who have dedicated themselves to improving SNMMI achievement in the Nuclear Medicine and related fields.

Lectures integrated team building exercises and enhanced networking opportunities. Each lecture incorporated different aspects of leadership and was led by technologists or keynote speakers with an intimate knowledge of the subject. The overall goal was to assemble a group of SNMMI leaders who understand the crucial role of leadership development and who are eager to begin the path to SNMMI leadership and organizational success.

Congratulations, Christina!
