These duties included serving as the employer of record for the Executive Director and all employees of SVU. Accordingly, SVU will not file W-2s. One W-2 was filed for 2025 prior to the transition to the management company. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 3 In early 2025, the Society for Vascular Ultrasound entered a contract with a company who now performs all the management duties customarily performed under the supervision of the officers of the organization. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 Bylaws were updated in January 2025 to include the following changes: Membership category "Medical/Surgical Resident & Programmatic Fellowship Members" was expanded to include students currently enrolled in medical school. Officer eligibility now requires at least one year of Board service as of the start of the officer's term, plus at least one year as a Charter or Technologist Member in good standing prior to election. It also adds a new restriction limiting officer eligibility to technologists in qualifying vascular-related employment, explicitly excluding anyone whose primary employer is a hardware/software/supplies vendor - mirroring the existing Technologist Director restriction. The eligible pool of officer vacancy appointments expanded to include any former Board member rather than just former officers. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 SVU works hard to give its members the professional resources needed to succeed in today's quickly changing world. The Society strives to promote knowledge among ultrasound professionals on current hot topics as well as regulatory and legislative advocacy issues.

They shall be required to pay annual membership dues and may vote. Only those members who have received and maintained a professional credential in vascular technology may hold an elected office within SVU. (2) Honorary members - Persons who have given outstanding support and service to SVU. Honorary membership shall be by nomination by any member of SVU and requires approval of two-thirds majority of the Board of Directors. Honorary members shall not be required to pay annual membership dues and cannot hold elected office, but may vote. (3) Retired/disabled members - Those that are either retired from the profession or disabled. They must submit to SVU a signed legal affidavit, prepared by the SVU attorney, certifying they are retired from the profession or physically unable to practice in the profession. They pay reduced annual dues, are eligible to vote, and are eligible to serve on committees. (4) Founding members - Those persons who were the original nine founding members of the Society of Non-Invasive Vascular Technology shall become honorary members. (5) Distinguished fellow members - Members who have made outstanding contributions to vascular ultrasound, inspired leadership in SVU, and are selected by the Board to be an SVU member. They are required to pay annual dues. (6) Signature lab membership - This membership category recognizes 100% annual membership participation in SVU by a laboratory technologist who performs vascular studies with at least one physician in the lab. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Regular, honorary, and retired/disabled members all have the power to vote.
