Sophia Antipolis, 25 April 2017 Subject: Women in ESC Dear Colleagues, During the term of Professor Pinto, the President and Board of the European Society of Cardiology asked all its constituent bodies to aim for a minimum of 25% female representation by 2018 on the task forces, committees, nuclei and boards of our Associations, Councils and Working Groups. The European Society of Cardiology, as you know, has carried out a careful review of its membership to define the strategic plan for 2016 - 2020. In doing this, multiple steps have been taken to ensure that we understand our members better and comprehend their needs. This in-depth analysis is vital if we are to ensure that our Society continues to represent and be the voice of the European cardiologist. The European Society of Cardiology, with its 94 000 strong member base recognizes the important contribution of every cardiovascular specialist, regardless of gender. It is widely acknowledged that organisations with a strong female representation at top management level perform better than those without and that gender-diverse boards have a positive impact on performance. We are very pleased to recognize that the influx of students into medical schools and their specialisation in the field of cardiology is becoming more and more gender-balanced, as represents the membership and fellowship of our Society. We would like to thank you for your ongoing support, and your commitment towards a balanced representation of all cardiologists, within your respective organisation, society, working group, council or association. Sincerely, Jeroen Bax, MD, PhD, FESC President of the European Society of Cardiology Lina Badimon, FESC Vice President for Working Groups, Councils, Women in ESC and ESC Grants
