SIR Leadership

The SIR Board of Directors is the chief governing and policymaking body of SIR made up of SIR’s member interventional radiologists. The SIR Board of Directors  is empowered to carry out the business of the society and is responsible for fiduciary oversight. It is responsible for overseeing and transacting the business necessary to achieve SIR's goals and to fulfill its mission. Board terms begin at the annual members' business meeting. The board meets in person three times per year.

SIR Foundation

SIR Foundation is a scientific foundation dedicated to fostering research in interventional radiology for the purposes of advancing scientific knowledge, increasing the number of skilled investigators and developing innovative therapies that lead to improved patient care and quality of life. The SIR Foundation Board of Directors works closely with the SIR Board of Directors to oversee and direct the execution of the jointly crafted SIR and SIR Foundation strategic plan, which serves to further the mission of both organizations.
