The Intersociety Committee began in 1980 with 22 member organizations and has grown to approximately 50 member organizations. Each year, the Intersociety Committee sponsors a summer conference, at which representatives from the member organizations discuss issues facing radiology. Herein, the authors review the history of the committee, its activities to date, and the results of an extensive member survey conducted in 2010.
