Georgia Vascular Society

What Georgia Vascular Society does

The Georgia Vascular Society (legal name: Georgia Vascular Society, Inc.) is a nonprofit professional medical society founded in 2013 to advance the field of vascular surgery across the state of Georgia. It serves a membership comprising board-certified vascular surgeons, vascular surgery residents and fellows, medical students, and allied health professionals (PA, ARNP, RN, RVT). The society's core offerings include its flagship Annual Scientific Sessions (the 14th edition scheduled for September 18-20, 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee), accredited continuing medical education programs, a public member directory of board-certified vascular surgeons in Georgia, and an affiliated charitable entity, the Georgia Vascular Foundation, which administers scholarships, named awards (Robert B. Smith III, W. Daniel Jordan, Rosenthal Resident Poster, Best Case Presentation, Best Poster Presentation), and the Rosenthal Resident Poster Competition.

The society operates a WordPress-based digital platform for member services, event registration, dues payment, exhibitor applications, and scholarship applications, supplemented by a Twitter/X presence (@VascularGeorgia) and an RSS feed. Its revenue model is diversified across four streams: annual membership dues (subscription/recurring), exhibitor and sponsorship fees from medical device and healthcare technology companies at the Annual Scientific Sessions (transaction fees), CME program delivery (professional services), and voluntary Foundation donations from members and supporters. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on referrals through academic institution partnerships (Emory University, Medical College of Georgia, Mercer University, Morehouse School of Medicine) and word-of-mouth within the Georgia vascular surgery community. Strategic partnerships with the Annals of Vascular Surgery (member publication pathway) and the American College of Surgeons / ACCME (CME accreditation and credit transfer to the American Board of Surgery) anchor the society's differentiated member value proposition.

• Southern Association for Vascular Surgery: Regional professional society covering the Southeastern U.S., including Georgia. Hosts an annual meeting with CME, networking, and research presentation similar to GVS, but with broader multi-state membership scope.
• Eastern Vascular Society: Regional vascular surgery society for the eastern U.S. Operates an annual meeting with CME, research presentations, and awards for trainees — directly comparable membership-meeting-event model to GVS at a multi-state level.
• Western Vascular Society: Regional vascular surgery society covering western U.S. states. Same annual-meeting-plus-CME-plus-trainee-awards format as GVS, operating at a larger multi-state scale.
• Midwest Vascular Surgical Society: Regional vascular surgery society covering midwestern U.S. Comparable structure: annual scientific meeting, CME, resident/student awards, member directory. Provides a direct comparison for regional society governance and revenue model.
• New England Society for Vascular Surgery: Regional vascular surgery society for New England. Same society-meeting-CME model as GVS with comparable member base profile of practicing vascular surgeons and trainees.
• Pacific Northwest Vascular Society: Regional society for vascular surgeons in the Pacific Northwest. Operates annual scientific meetings with CME programming for vascular surgery professionals in its geography, structurally identical to GVS.

Broad incumbents

• Society for Vascular Surgery: The national professional society for vascular surgery in the U.S. Provides overlapping CME, networking, and Annals of Vascular Surgery publication pathways to the same member base GVS targets, but at national scale.
• American College of Surgeons: National surgical professional society that provides the CME accreditation and credit-transfer infrastructure GVS relies on. While not a direct vascular-only peer, it is the parent accreditation body shaping GVS's CME offering.

Emerging players

• Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery: Specialty society focused on vascular surgery training program directors, overlapping with GVS's resident and fellow engagement and Foundation awards programming. Adjacent in mission with partial overlap in trainee pipeline activities.
