Introducing the 2026 I Am the Gold Standard Educator Award!

2026 marks the 10th anniversary of ARRT’s I Am the Gold Standard (IATGS) Award, honoring outstanding R.T.s who consistently go above and beyond. 

To celebrate this milestone, we’re excited to announce a special Educator Award for this year—together with the traditional IATGS award. This special honor shines a spotlight on the incredible educators who inspire, guide, and prepare the next generation of R.T.s. Your dedication shapes the future of our profession—and that deserves recognition! 

The award will honor an educator who excels in one or more of the following: 

• Excellence in educational quality and student outcomes 
• Mentorship and professional development of students and early career professionals 
• Contribution to the profession through education and advocacy 

Nominations for both the IATGS and the Educator Award open January 26! Check your inbox early next week for an email with more information.  

We encourage you to nominate a deserving educator (including yourself!) and share with your colleagues and students! Let’s celebrate the leaders who make learning extraordinary!
