Dear Members and Friends:

Challenges abound!  The election is over and we are still trying to understand what it means for the future of women’s and reproductive health.  Stay tuned.

American Gynecological Club (AGC) is the perfect forum for a discussion of sentinel issues and the future of our specialty and subspecialties.

Thanks to all who attended the recent meeting at Yale University, October 3-6, 2024, and special thank you to hosts Drs. Hugh Taylor and Sandee Carson.  Two half-day scientific sessions included talks from 12 leading experts.  In addition to our academic sessions, we enjoyed tours of Yale, including the world-renown library with its rare books collection and the nearby art gallery.  The Mystic Seaport Museum acquainted us with our maritime history during colonial times. Our fellowship together concluded with a final dinner at Mory’s restaurant, a Yale tradition.

Please save the date for next year’s meeting which will be hosted by Dr. Genevieve Neal-Perry at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.  Check the AGC website for the latest information.

In November we will be sending renewals for your society membership dues.  We invite you to renew your membership and commitment to AGC, to be part of AGC’s rich history, and help to further our mission to support the advancement of women’s and reproductive health.  AGC has a history of 114 years that must be constantly refreshed by the challenges of the day.   With the current day challenges in mind, I would like to highlight our unique organization:

Exploration – The annual AGC meeting provides members an opportunity to understand the depth and breadth of our academic fabric and appreciate the educational, clinical, and scientific endeavors of our sponsoring institution.   In addition to being inspired by what the home institution has accomplished and has as goals, we might want to understand how ACG can leverage the insights so gleaned to sustain our leaders and our field.

Demonstration – The sponsoring institution showcases its rising stars and institutional resources.  This is an opportunity to connect our members with opportunities.

Community- AGC continues to provide an opportunity for academic leaders in the field of gynecology and obstetrics to come together in-person in a relaxed, social atmosphere to consider advances and problems and shape the direction of women’s and reproductive healthcare.

Friendships - AGC meetings and interactions serve to foster and sustain friendships.

I welcome your involvement, suggestions, and active participation in AGC.  You can reach me directly at slberga@buffalo.edu or info@americangynclub.org.

Sincerely,

Sarah Berga, MD
