Managing Scientific & Medical Societies Since 1992

Association Management & Symposium Management

The San Francisco Neurological Society (SFNS) and Spondyloarthritis Research & Treatment Network (SPARTAN), are current clients. Rhema Association Management designed and maintains the SFNS website, and designs and mails meeting brochures, membership mailings and html e-mail blasts. Online meeting registration for the SFNS Annual Meeting as well as online membership renewal are outsourced to Rhema Association Management. The SPARTAN website was designed and is maintained by Rhema Association Management.

Full-service Association Management Experience:

  • Society for Molecular Imaging (2002 - 2006) Provided full service association management for this newly founded international non-profit scientific society which included planning their annual scientific meeting. In the words of a past-president upon Rhema's turning the society over to a co-worker in Texas: "The San Francisco SMI meeting seems like only yesterday, but through the years since that meeting you have helped all of us build a solid foundation for the SMI that will last well into the future. It has been your energy, insights, experience and tremendous attitude that have turned this society into a well-tuned, professionally run organization, and built its annual meeting into an internationally renowned platform for reporting on the most important advances in molecular imaging. You should be very proud knowing that you have contributed greatly to this emerging field, and we are all indebted to you for helping us build a vibrant organization that serves the imaging community so well. You have helped convert a vision into a reality, and even though you have left the SMI in the very capable hands of Charles and his team, we will miss you very much."
  • San Francisco Neurological Society (2002 - 2005) Provided full-service association management including planning an annual weekend CME conference and 4-5 dinner meetings per year. In the words of a past-president: “Joan has served the SF Neurological Society as executive director and then as communications director for many years (1995 is a guess as she started before I came on the board). She helped draft bylaws, arranged for the organization to become a 501c6 and took the society through the process of being certified to provide CME (educational credit). She continues to manage our website and design and send mailings and email blasts for meetings She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, dedicated, trustworthy, reliable, creative and a really nice person. She has always had our backs and I hope that she will continue to do so, whatever her principle project is.”
  • North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging (NASCI), (1993-2005) Provided full-service association management including planning for an annual CME meeting which grew from under 100 to over 450 international participants. Rhema Association Management continues to assist the editor of the NASCI journal, the International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging.
  • CASSS (1996 - 2001) Provided full-service association management and meeting planning for 2-3 international symposia per year. During this time we were responsible for organizing the 1st through 5th WCBP Symposia; HPCE 1999 and HPCE 2001; DNA 2000; 1st & 2nd CEC Symposia as well as bi-monthly evening discussion groups and a strategic planning meeting/assistance in formulating a strategic plan with the Board of Directors.
  • Southwest Chapter of the Society of Nuclear Medicine (1993 - 2000) Provided full-service association management and planning for the annual CME meeting and exhibition, 400-600 participants. A regional chapter of the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the SW Chapter membership consists of over 1,000 physicians, scientists, technologists, pharmacists, veterinarians, and commercial vendors. The Chapter is committed to improving patient care by maintaining and advancing the highest possible standards of education, research and clinical use of nuclear medicine.
