Did you know that @HRSonline has had six women presidents?

6.

*** SIX (!!!!!!) ***
(This might be the most of any cardiac society?)

#WomeninEP #MadamePresident #WomeninCardiology #ACCWIC
. #Womenincardiology are lost through a leaky pipeline that begins even before the *idea* of becoming a doctor enters our brains. This persists for various reasons throughout our careers. Here& #39;s a slide from @purviparwani with some data :

#WomeninEP #ACCWIC
Electing a #WomeninEP as #MadamePresident = highest level role modelling for the some of the earliest & leakiest parts of the pipline.

Many https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♀️" title="Weibliches Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Weibliches Zeichen"> residents don& #39;t even consider cardiology & even fewer (6%) choose #EPeeps

If you can& #39;t see it you can& #39;t be it

Electing #WomeninEP / #WomeninCardiology as #MadamePresident is #SheforShe!

Data show that women leaders hire more women compared to when men lead, advancing and promoting other women, who in turn, continue to provide opportunites for more women.

What may be even more important is that when *men* advocate for #WomeninEP or #WomeninCardiology (especially in a field that is majority male), **more men are likley to become #HeforShe https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> **

(see our discussion here https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.120.019321

Women and men cannot do this in silos. It takes conscious effort by organizations & institutions to *step up* to recognize women& #39;s contributions & strive for gender equity.

This is why the election of 6 #WomeninEP as #MadamePresidents is so important: @HRSonline STEPPED UP.
So here& #39;s to more #MadamePresidents in the future.

(Like #RBG, I won& #39;t be satisfied until all med/STEM societies have more women in leadership positions!)
