Intersociety Committee
The Intersociety Committee is a freestanding committee of the American College of Radiology. It was established to promote collegiality within the field of radiology; foster and encourage communication and interchange among the national radiological societies; provide direct representation to the Board of Chancellors through the chair of the committee who serves as an ombudsman or spokesperson for the component societies; and evaluate and make recommendations on problems and areas of concern in radiology identified by the member societies or at the Summer Conference. The agenda for its meetings is generated within the committee and not imposed by any one organization.
The Intersociety Summer Conference serves as a gathering place for leaders in radiology. In this forum each society has an equal voice, helping to formulate solutions to the issues confronting the practice of diagnostic radiology and radiation oncology.
The Intersociety Committee brings the leadership of radiology together to promote mutual understanding, and to encourage cohesion and cooperation. It has opened the resources of the College to the component societies and enhanced the College by affording ready access to the wealth of information and expertise of the membership of the committee. As envisioned by its founders, the Intersociety Committee has proven to be a unifying influence and strengthening force within the specialty. Its executive committee has been able to provide needed continuity for the Intersociety Summer Conference; as a result, the summer conferences have been well attended, well received, and increasingly popular and productive.
