To assess the trends of women in voluntary leadership roles in the ACR from 2001 to 2015.
Retrospective leadership records from 2001 to 2015 were collected from the ACR Membership Database based on member demographics, gender, and participation in leadership roles at the national and state level. Data were sorted by gender and year to assess the proportion of women in each leadership position relative to total member/representation counts.
Overall, there were increasing numbers of women represented in ACR leadership. From 2001 to 2015, there were increasing rates of women achieving fellowship in the College (7%-11%), now at parity with male member rates. Representation by women has risen from 7% to 21% for state chapter presidents and from 14% to 18% for state councilors. Comparing rolling 5-year averages from 2001-2005 and 2011-2015 showed statistically significant increases (P < .05) in these leadership roles. Women members of the council steering committee rose from 13% in 2001 to 19% in 2015, peaking at 24% in 2014. The Board of Chancellors (BOC) showed the largest increase in women, from 9% to 33%, with a peak at 37% in 2014. However, no BOC chairs were women, one council speaker was a woman, two women were ACR presidents, and two women were vice presidents.
Women's participation in ACR leadership has increased significantly at the state level and in fellowship recognition. Although there are increasing numbers of women on the BOC, top positions remain male-dominated at the national level.
评估2001年至2015年美国放射学会（ACR）中担任自愿领导职务的女性趋势。
基于会员人口统计学、性别以及在国家和州层面担任领导职务的情况，从ACR会员数据库收集2001年至2015年的回顾性领导记录。数据按性别和年份分类，以评估每个领导职位中女性占总会员数/代表数的比例。
总体而言，ACR领导层中女性人数不断增加。从2001年到2015年，学院女性获得院士资格的比例不断上升（7% - 11%），目前与男性会员比例相当。州分会主席中女性的比例从7%升至21%，州议员中女性的比例从14%升至18%。比较2001 - 2005年和2011 - 2015年的滚动5年平均值显示，这些领导职位有统计学上的显著增加（P <.05）。理事会指导委员会的女性成员从2001年的13%升至2015年的19%，2014年达到峰值24%。校长委员会（BOC）女性人数增加最多，从9%增至33%，2014年达到峰值37%。然而，校长委员会主席中没有女性，一名理事会发言人是女性，两名女性担任过ACR主席，两名女性担任过副主席。
女性在ACR领导层的参与在州层面和院士认可方面显著增加。尽管校长委员会中女性人数不断增加，但在国家层面最高职位仍由男性主导。
