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.

And they were themed in the sense that there would be an endourology or a female urology or a infertility sexual medicine focus to the program. And there were tremendous, you know, female urology speakers at those meetings who practiced in that subspecialty. But the flavor of the meetings has changed to focus more on career development.

And that's really what the membership wanted and needed and wasn't getting at the other professional society meetings. We are all members of the AUA or whatever other subspecialty organization that we belong to. And We fill our tank in terms of that subspecialty knowledge at those meetings.

But 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. We're really trying to draw in

everybody and have a space where people feel that they have a role, you know, either as a mentor or a mentee or both.

I would echo everything Simone says. And I think as the footprint of the organization has grown, it has become a powerful voice at the national level and on the national scene to advance some of the issues that are important to women urologists. You for AUA-related advocacy issues.

We have a presence at the AUA national meeting, whether it comes to courses or content programming or providing input into what the meeting schedule should look like and what topics should be part of the focus of each annual program. I mean, that's tremendous. I think
