SASGOG Committees

To achieve the SASGOG mission, we rely heavily on member involvement and active committee participation. Committee participation provides our membership with opportunities for national service and growth in leadership. In turn, the organization benefits from unique perspectives that advance our shared mission.  SASGOG is committed to recruiting committee members who can provide those unique perspectives.

Each SASGOG Committee has a different responsibility aimed at helping the Society pursue its mission to enhance women’s health by supporting academic generalist physicians in all phases of their careers and to support education and scholarship, while fostering excellence in research.

In the third quarter of the calendar year, SASGOG members at all career levels are solicited to volunteer for their preferred committee. Committee Members typically serve for 3 years. Click here to apply!
