The American Academy of Neurology (AAN), established in March 1948, was born out of a desire to create an inclusive professional society for neurologists, particularly for those nascent in their careers as young neurologists and those in training. This was in deliberate contrast to the more established American Neurological Association (ANA), at that time a 75-year-old association whose restrictive membership comprised only senior, mostly male leaders of American academic neurology predominantly in Northeast American institutions.1 The AAN's agenda for inclusivity was reflected not only in its relatively open membership requirements but also in the creation of a woman's auxiliary.
