ACR Council
The legislative body of the College provides a voice to each ACR® member and governs the College through established policies for all of radiology.
The council is comprised of approximately 385 members and each chapter has one councilor for every 200 ACR members in the chapter.
- The Council of Affiliated Regional Radiation Oncology Societies is designated two councilors.
- Five councilors represent the Resident and Fellow Section.
- Two councilors serve the Young and Early Career Professional Section.
- Councilors also represent military services, other federal agencies and 24 radiological societies.
The Council meets annually to establish policy based on recommendations submitted as resolutions during the ACR Annual Meeting. During the meeting, the Council elects a speaker and vice speaker who serve two-year terms, working to organize the meeting and maintain activities throughout the year.
The Council Steering Committee (CSC), comprised of appointed and elected members, oversees the activities of the Council and represents the Council while it is not in session. Together with the CSC, the Council facilitates communication with chapters, societies with Council representation and the Board of Chancellors.
