On December 8, 2022, the Brazilian College of Radiology and Image Diagnosis (CBR) held the management termination ceremony. The ceremony consists of recognizing the president of the current biennium, for the services rendered to Radiology during the last biennium. A painting is made and is displayed in the gallery of former presidents, which is at the headquarters of the College. The person responsible for delivering the table is the president of the previous biennium.

This special moment is a way of thanking and acknowledging all the commitment of the management that ends the cycle. The Doctor. Dante wisely spoke about the importance of Dr. Alair, in particular, for the challenge he experienced during the two-year period he was at the helm of the CBR. Yeah, in this period, the world was experiencing the peak of the pandemic.

“Administrating the needs of the College and everything that directly affected it, through the delicate, yet challenging situation, did not stop Dr. Alair to carry out a great management", according to Dr. Dante Escuissato.
