Overview

Mission

To promote scientific exchange, cross-disciplinary collaboration, education and leadership in gynecologic, sexual, maternal, and neonatal infectious diseases.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Annual Meeting, which brings together health care providers, researchers and public health professionals from across a variety of disciplines and at all career stages. The rigorous scientific program is complemented by distinguished plenary speakers who will be sharing their expertise on topics across the spectrum of reproductive health and infectious disease. In addition, we will have several exciting, sponsored symposiums at breakfast and lunch to further learning and engagement.The 2025 IDSOG meeting featured key updates in infectious disease gynecology, including advances in BV treatment, reproductive health research, and emerging topics. The event included expert sessions, research presentations, and award recognitions, with strong attendee engagement and plans for 2026 in Lake Geneva, WI.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
