Abstract

The Japanese Society for Neuroendovascular Therapy (JSNET) is a diverse subspecialty society based on four basic fields and is continuously growing with the advancement of neuroendovascular therapy. Despite a recent increase in the proportion of female members, awareness of diversity within JSNET remains inadequate. To foster a more mature and inclusive society, we established the JSNET-Diversity Promotion Committee in 2021, which has actively engaged in various initiatives aimed at promoting the inclusion of minorities such as female physicians as well as minority fields. Our objective is to continue in our initiative, anticipating that JSNET will evolve into an even more ideal organization in the future.
