Intersociety Liaisons for AAWR

BUILDING CONNECTIONS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY AND CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTION

The Intersociety Liaisons for AAWR initiative is designed to expand networking and collaboration opportunities for members across a wide range of specialty and society meetings beyond the RSNA Annual Meeting.

Our goal is to create networking opportunities that lead to meaningful connections, foster mentorship, and grow engagement within AAWR.

WHY THIS MATTERS

By extending AAWR’s presence across multiple professional meetings, we aim to:

• Increase networking opportunities for members
• Encourage mentorship and collaboration
• Strengthen member engagement and visibility
• Support the growth of AAWR membership and advance members' careers

HOW WE DO THIS

Informal Networking Events

With AAWR sponsorship, member liaisons have begun organizing casual, high-impact meetups at major society meetings, such as:

• Coffee meetups (e.g., at the Association of Academic Radiology 2026 meeting)
• Small group lunches (e.g., at the American Society of Neuroradiology 2025 meeting)
• Happy hours (e.g., at the Society of Breast Imaging 2025 meeting)
• Networking breakfasts (e.g., at the Society for Pediatric Radiology 2025 meeting and the International Pediatric Radiology (IPR) Congress 2026)

Liaisons are encouraged to:

• Review upcoming meeting schedules
• Identify optimal timing and format
• Submit proposals with budget estimates

Formal Programming Opportunities

Where possible, liaisons collaborate with partner societies to:

• Develop joint AAWR sessions in the meeting programming
• Elevate AAWR’s academic and professional presence

LOOKING AHEAD

This initiative is a growing platform to highlight the incredible work of AAWR members across various radiology specialties and provide a way for members to connect with each other. By increasing visibility and accessibility, we aim to build a stronger, more connected professional community of women in radiology, allies, mentors, and sponsors.
