How often have we heard friends and neighbors tell us that they were not going to vote because they thought their vote would not make a difference? This is especially true in today’s polarized political climate where there are well-documented instances of foreign (attempts of) intervention and massive campaign financing by political action committees (PACS). So, I ask, can a voice of one make a difference? Is every vote important? I say yes and have experienced it first-hand.
In 1998, I was a councilor for Pennsylvania to the American College of Radiology (ACR). While most radiology societies have predominantly academic membership, the ACR represents all of radiology – academics and private practice, and functions to establish practice standards, provide education, manage economic issues, and serves as the political arm for the profession.
