What we don't get anywhere else is the networking and the career development and the ability to reach out to somebody who has succeeded in an aspect of their career to ask, how did you do it? And what were the pitfalls? And how could you help me get there too? And that's a void that this society fills that no other subspecialty fills for all of us.

And that, I think, has been the secret sauce to why this organization has been growing exponentially and attracting more and more members from really the full kind of career trajectory of urology, from medical students to residents, but also women who are in practice, early practice for sure, but also mid-career and late career. You know, we're really trying to draw in everybody.

I actually got involved with SWOO because I was invited to speak at one of the SWOO meetings. This was the Scottsdale meeting. And I must have been, you know, five or six years into clinical practice at the time. There were very few women faculty at Emory Urology at the time. So I was really looking for broader mentorship in the urology community.

I didn't know very much about this organization at all other than the fact that it existed. And it ended up being such a fantastic meeting, completely different from any other urologic meeting that I had ever attended. There was so much camaraderie. There was so much support. There was urology, of course, but there was so much more than just urology.

And they happened to announce at the meeting that there was a position open on the board. I spoke with some of the board members about what that is. entailed and ended up applying and joining the board. And it's been a fantastic ride. I mean, the board has changed so much. The organization has changed so much during my time on the board. All for the better.

I think that women urology as a community is growing and SWU is growing as an organization in parallel with that. So it's been really, really wonderful to see that change.

Yeah, my answer would be very similar. You know, I think the success of an organization like SWOO has come from the fact that it has changed a lot since its inception. And the mission and the flavor of the meetings has also changed. The early meetings and probably this is the reason why many of us didn't know about this organization, were focused on, you know, urology as a clinical practice.
