Our study demonstrates a positive correlation between female members and women on the Board of Directors in regional and state orthopaedic societies. Twelve societies had female presidents within the past 10 years. Female representation in leadership positions may help with the recruitment of female orthopaedic surgeons and improve diversity in orthopaedics. Future studies should evaluate different methods of increasing female membership and leadership positions in state and regional orthopaedic societies.
