Overview

Mission

To provide a forum for issues unique to women in radiology, radiation oncology and related professions: to sponsor programs that promote oppotunities for women and to facilitate networking among members and other professionals.

What it reported doing in 2025

The association sponsors lectures and discussions on topics of interest to women including career development, gender equality, mentoring in radiology and tailoring professional careers to help balance the needs of home and the workplace. The association develops refresher courses at other radiology association annual meetings and holds discussion sessions at major national radiology meetings. Members are provided with electronic newsletters related to radiation protection.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
