Illinois State Society of Radiologic Technologists

What Illinois State Society of Radiologic Technologists does

The Illinois State Society of Radiologic Technologists (ISSRT) is a non-profit professional membership organization serving radiologic technologists across the state of Illinois. Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Maryville, Illinois, the society is a charter affiliate of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the national professional body. ISSRT's core mission is to advance the profession through continuing education, advocacy, and peer support, with members organized into Northern, Central, and Southern regional divisions that host local events and administer regional scholarships.

ISSRT's primary products and services are member-facing rather than technology products. They include the Annual Conference (with the 92nd edition referenced in 2025-2026), continuing-education programming, the Elizabeth Bray Scholarship and regional scholarship programs, and a member portal built and operated by Neapolitan Labs that provides digital access to membership management, events, and resources. The organization classifies itself as a Health, Wellness, and Fitness-sector non-profit at the intersection of healthcare workforce development.

ISSRT's business model is a traditional professional association dues model. Individual members pay tiered annual dues: Active $40/year, Associate $50/year, Student $25 for a two-year term, and Retired $20/year. Revenue is supplemented by conference registration fees, sponsorships, and scholarship/endowment activity. The organization operates with five employees and no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors, consistent with a small, member-supported non-profit.

Direct peers

• Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists (OSRT): Another ASRT state affiliate offering the same membership-plus-conference-plus-advocacy model in Ohio. Comparable in scale and organizational structure to ISSRT, making it a direct operational benchmark.
• New York State Society of Radiologic Technologists (NYSSRT): ASRT-affiliated state society for radiologic technologists in New York, providing equivalent membership programs, annual conference, CE, and licensure advocacy functions.
• American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT): The national professional association for radiologic technologists and ISSRT's chartered parent affiliate. Operates the same membership, advocacy, CE, and conference model at the national level, making it the most directly comparable organization.
• California Society of Radiologic Technologists (CSRT): A fellow ASRT-affiliated state society serving California's radiologic technologists with analogous membership tiers, annual conference, scholarships, and legislative advocacy — the closest functional mirror to ISSRT in a larger state.
• Texas Society of Radiologic Technologists (TSRT): State-level ASRT affiliate for Texas radiologic technologists, offering member services, conferences, and advocacy comparable to ISSRT's offerings in Illinois.

Broad incumbents

• Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS): National professional society serving sonographers — an adjacent allied-health imaging profession. Comparable in operating model (membership, CE, conference, advocacy) though serving a different modality than ISSRT.

Others

• American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT): The national credentialing body that administers certification exams referenced in ISSRT's Active membership requirements. Not a peer in the membership-society sense but an enabling organization whose credentials underpin ISSRT's value proposition.
