Advancing opportunity and representation in the American Venous Forum

Although there have been positive improvements in the proportion of women in leadership roles at the AVF, the integration of DEI domains at AVF annual meetings continues to show slow progress. This study reflects an opportunity for AVF leaders and councils to prioritize strategies to incorporate important DEI domains into our annual meetings and mission-related efforts. Intentional progress in these areas will ultimately contribute to more successfully carrying out the AVF Core Values (VEINS: Values and integrity, Education, Inclusivity, equity, diversity, Nurturing, Scientific excellence and research).
