The MIT model serves to remind us that we can cha n g e the wor king envi r onment to suit our needs and those of our families. As rad i o l o gis t s , we are fort u n a te to have economic and job stabi l i t y , a var iety of career opportunities and the ability to cha n g e our wor k envi r onment to ref lect our values. Most of today’ s women continue to carry the larger share of chi l d - r aising and home responsibilities. These are some reasons why women (and men) consider part-time employment or a dep a rt u r e from the traditional linear rad i o l o gy caree r . Let us widen the box for women in rad i o l o gy today. I look for wa r d to the collabo r ati o n s , cre at iv i t y , and successes we will share. I leave you with Max De Pree’s philosophy of leadership: Leadership is a condition of indebtedness.

Rosado de Christenson, MD, FACR Co-Chair, Public Relations Committee Editor, Focus Throughout 2002 the Executive Committee and the members of the American Association for Women Radiologists (AAWR) celebrated the 20th anniversary of our organization. AAWR Past Presidents reflected on our history. Their remarks were captured in the pages of Focus and the AAWR website. The celebration culminated in a series of activities that took place during the 2002 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago, IL. Carol M. Rumack, MD, the inaugural A AWR President was the featured speaker at the 2002 AAW R President’s Luncheon. Dr. Rumack presented a retrospective journey through the twenty-year history of our organization. Her remarks pro- vided the framework for this Special Twentieth Anniversary Edition of the Focus and will hopefully inspire future AAWR leaders and new members as we begin the next twenty years of our organization. 2 Winter/Spring 2003 AAWR focus AAWR:AAWR: TTHEHE PPASTAST,, PPRESENTRESENT ANDAND FFUTUREUTURE Based on the 2002 AAWR President’s Luncheon Presentation By Carol M.
