Overview

Mission

The mission of the women's dermatologic society is to empower and connect members to advance women dermatologists through personal and professional development, mentorship, service, and leadership.

What it reported doing in 2024

Wds forum/ivwg - the industry visioning work group (ivwg) forum provided a unique opportunity for members and industry partners to strategically plan and discuss the common problems faced as a specialty. This is a crucial link between dermatologists and the international corporate business community, and will help expand the conversation and cross boundaries to embrace medical, surgical, oncologic, cosmetic, pediatric, and technical subspecialties. The membership enrichment & leadership development (meld) forum provided networking for attendees and getting to know one another. The meld forum was a success featuring a robust cme program with speakers from different areas of women's health, topics on leadership, as well as the latest updates in dermatology.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
