Society of Interventional Radiology - clinical specialty councils

Steering Council

The Steering Council is responsible for moving forward strategic initiatives and priorities of the SIR and SIR Foundation Strategic Plan. The intrasociety body reviews issues and opportunities that arise from sections, divisions, clinician specialty councils and committees. The Steering Council encourages and places an emphasis on proposals that include collaborative input and engagement across divisions and clinical specialty councils to address critical issues.

If a need for additional resources arises, the proposal is managed by the Steering Council and then, as appropriate, advanced to the Board for authorizing supplementary resources as necessary.

The Steering Council is responsible for organizing and monitoring activity across organizational bodies and makes recommendations to the Board through the SIR Past President.
