Key topics on this article: Female Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) members apply to committee positions and volunteer at a greater proportion than do their male counterparts. The increased gender diversity of the POSNA membership is not yet reflected in its current leadership hierarchy. Additional time is necessary to observe whether increased volunteerism by women in POSNA will translate into leadership roles in society.
