History
The idea for a national medical association dedicated to the study and treatment of gynecologic cancer originated in February 1968 during a discussion between Drs. Hervy E. Averette and John J. Mikuta at a meeting of the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics in New Orleans. Over time, a growing number of physicians signed on to the idea, and the society was formally founded at a meeting held in Key Biscayne, Florida in January 1969 under the chairmanship of George C. Lewis, Jr., MD.{{cite web ==Past presidents==
