“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”
What foresight! Although this statement was made in the last century by the successful American industrialist Henry Ford, these words sum up the history of the Women’s Dermatologic Society so very well! Through the diligent work of our 27 committees, many ideas have bloomed into successful projects. Our logo has expanded to reflect our many functions: “Women’s Dermatologic Society: Physicians  Leaders  Mentors”
