All members of the NJERI are welcome to attend the five meetings held each year to discuss the business of the Organization and to assist in developing the programs throughout the year.

NJERI members actively participate in the Annual Meeting of the New Jersey Society of Radiologic Technologists by working with the NJSRT to help provide speakers for the sessions and coordinate the Emma Wolfe Student Competition.
STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
Each year NJERI awards a radiography student scholarship. In 2021, our student scholarship was renamed the Robert P. Champa Student Scholarship as a fitting tribute to Roberts love of being an educator and his tireless work on behalf of radiologic technology.
