Society Leadership and Diversity: Hail to the Women!

A landmark event occurred in Chicago at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) in May 2017. For the first time in history, all four gastroenterology and hepatology societies in the United States have women presidents: the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). This occurrence was not the result of careful coordination, but a timing coincidence and a significant signal that the GI societies recognize the importance of diversity and inclusion for all our members.
