NEWSLETTER June 2025
Dear Women in Endocrinology Members,
I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco at ENDO 2025. WE will have a strong presence especially as we are celebrating our 50th anniversary! We are proud of WEs many accomplishments and look forward to many more in the years ahead.
At ENDO, we will continue to host our WE Annual Dinner Program (July 12, 2025 6:30-10pm) where we will hear from Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD, from Stanford University, and importantly, connect with friends and welcome new WE members. If you want to attend the dinner program, there are still some places left so please reach out to Shannon Whirledge shannon.whirledge@yale.edu Chair of the Programs Committee. Please encourage early career endocrinologists to join WE and attend the program.
We are also excited to again co-sponsor with the Endocrine Society, the successful panel Obtaining Leadership Skills and Positions (July 14th 10:45-12:15) organized by Gayathri Devi, Chair of the WE Mentoring Committee.
Congratulations to all the WE Awardees. I would like to thank all the committee chairs and members for their help over this past year. The work we do requires a team effort and it’s been a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team. You can read more about each committee’s accomplishments in the newsletter.
Finally, I want to let you know that the WE President-Elect position is open. This has a one-year term starting as President July 2025 at the time of ENDO. I am glad to talk to any of you who might be interested if you want further details. It has been a wonderful experience to serve as President of such an important organization and one which has been key to my career.
If you are interested in the WE President position, please send a short paragraph indicating 1-your interest in the position, 2- your experience relevant to the position and 3-your biosketch or CV to Ann Taylor taylorae@live.com WE Nominating Committee Chair by June 23rd. WE welcomes and encourages self-nomination for this and other open leadership positions. I will assist the new President, serving as Past President, and attempt the level of commitment I have appreciated from Ann Taylor, the 2024 WE Past President.
See you in July where we will celebrate 50th years of WE!
Best, Ellen |
