Dear Women in Endocrinology Members, It is time to think about abstracts for the ENDO Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA, USA, July 12-15, 2025. Please support your early career faculty to submit abstracts and apply for ENDO and WE abstract awards. I also want to reemphasize the call for nominations for ENDO Laureate awards made by Dr. Ann Taylor. I am appreciative to WE for supporting my successful nomination for the 2025 ENDO Mentor Award. I am sure that the WE letter of support played a significant role in the committee’s decision, so I believe the WE nomination letters are key. Reach out to Ann with nomination ideas taylorae@live.com. Are you are wondering what to give your mentees for the holidays? Please consider a gift of membership to WE (only $25 for trainees) https://www.women-in-endo.org/join-us Continuing on our theme celebrating the 50th anniversary of WE, I will share more information from A Lab of Her Own by Nina Schwartz, PhD, one of the founders of WE. Nina wrote “In 1990, members of the Steering Committee of WE wrote a letter, which was published in the society journal Endocrinology, supporting the right to abortion. They also wrote protesting the firing of Dr. Jocelyn Elders (pediatric endocrinologist) as Surgeon General by President Clinton over her public comments about masturbation, which she recommended as an alternative to unprotected sex.” WE leadership and I are interested in what you see as the role of WE in political advocacy. Should WE be involved in advocacy concerning issues that affect women disproportionately? How can such issues be raised for discussion within WE if you feel we have a place for this? Through a specific committee? Let me know your thoughts using our new WE FORUM https://www.women-in-endo.org/Contact-WE then click on CONTACT US and you will find on the forum at the bottom of the page.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
The NOMINATING COMMITTEE is seeking nominations for 2026 Endocrine Laureate Awardees. Please reach out to Ann Taylor (taylorae@live.com) if you would like to be nominated, have suggestions for new nominees, or just want to understand what the Laureate Awards are and why you might care.
We would also like to remind all WE members that service on an Endocrine Society committee is a fantastic way to advance your career, as you learn more about the society, learn how to work on a collaborative committee, and get to network with multiple diverse peers. You can self-nominate for committees or reach out to Ann if you would like advice about it.
The PROGRAM COMMITTEE reminds you to sign up for our annual WE dinner meeting when you register for ENDO 2025! Speaker details to follow!
The DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE is fundraising for WE travel awards and other expenses. If you know of any potential donors, please contact Gay (gayathri.devi@duke.edu).
The MENTORING COMMITTEE asks that you all take the survey using the QR code below and ask your own lab/team trainees and junior faculty to do so. This would really help in a robust presentation on mentorship next year and for the manuscript in development.
The AWARDS COMMITTEE will soon post deadlines for ENDO travel awards. Look for the upcoming announcement on our website!
