🫁Are you a member of the SDSRC and looking to get involved?

🎟️We are looking for volunteers to spearhead the fundraising raffle that will be held at our annual conference this coming October. As a reminder- funds raised during the raffle are donated to an organization that supports lung health in South Dakota.

🩺This is a great way to get involved and be active in our society without committing to a full board of director position.

AARC, in partnership with the Department of Defense, the Council of State Governments, and AARC's state society affiliates, is advancing the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (RCIC) - a policy initiative designed to allow licensed respiratory therapists to practice across participating states without needing additional licenses. And we want to hear from you. You are invited to take the RCIC Member Perception Survey to share your perspective on the awareness of this policy initiative, perceived value, concerns, and interest in supporting the implementation of the RCIC.

Your input is essential to help shape our education, advocacy, and implementation strategies. This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
