AGA workshops champion women in GI
At AGA, we’re committed to supporting, empowering, and amplifying women in GI. As part of our ongoing efforts, we were thrilled to host nearly 250 women at four Women in GI regional workshops this fall. These workshops provided women across the country with opportunities to develop their personal and professional networks, participate in leadership development seminars, receive career mentoring, and engage in various wellness practices.
Following the conclusion of the regional workshops, we hosted the AGA Women’s Leadership Collaboration Conference at the AGA national office in Bethesda, Md.

I can’t stop talking about this weekend! What a profound experience! I continue to be inspired by this group of women, our mission, and the far-reaching impact of this collaboration. Each one of us was absolutely transformed this weekend. And the radius of that impact is immeasurable! – Dr. Bahar Adeli, TJUH–Albert Einstein Medical Center

During the two-day conference, 22 delegates discussed workplace experiences, reported on their region’s workshop, and participated in strategy development exercises to further gender equity in GI, which included identifying tactics and ideas for action.
This unique event brought together delegates from each regional workshop, including 2023 Dr. Maria Leo-Lieber scholarship winners Alyssa Parian and Alexandra Livanos, who attended the Northeast workshop. It was a great time of collaboration and connection with the AGA #WomenInGI community!
Thank you to everyone who participated and made the events a success. We look forward to uplifting all women in GI and identifying ways to support the community in the coming year.
AGA thanks Johnson & Johnson Health Care Systems, Inc. for their support of this program.
