Dear CRS Members, 

On behalf of the CRS Executive Committee, it is my distinct honor to share with you the news that longtime CRS Executive Director Bob Achermann, JD has been named the recipient of the American College of Radiology's 2023 Distinguished Service Award. 

This prestigious award is given to one individual every year in recognition of highly notable service to the College and the profession, or in recognition of other action or achievement on the part of an individual that reflects in a uniquely favorable manner on the College and the profession of radiology at the national level. 

As President and as a longtime member of the CRS, I have witnessed firsthand all of the work that Bob Achermann has done advocating for our specialty in Sacramento and serving our society with an unmatched commitment and dedication. 

The award will be presented at the ACR 2023 Convocation on Sunday, May 7, 2023, at the Washington Hilton, Washington DC. 

Please join me in congratulating Bob Achermann for this well-deserved honor. 

Sincerely, 

Suzanne Palmer, MD, FACP, FACR

President

California Radiological Society
