Following the September 1975 ASUTS Meeting in Winston-Salem, NC three sonographers working in Metro-Detroit decided to organize a state-wide professional society named the Michigan Sonographers' Society. The first meeting was held at Hutzel Hospital in December 1975 with approximately twenty interested sonographers in attendance.
A steering committee guided the MSS during the first year while the Constitution and Bylaws were written and organizational policy was established. The First Spring Symposium was held at Oakwood Hospital in March 1976 and the first officers were elected in the fall of 1976. Long before the ARDMS required CME, the MSS offered "MSS credits" so that members could document to employers their dedication to the field.
Since the first symposium in 1976 the MSS has hosted distinguished speakers from all over the country and internationally. We are recognized for the quality of our meetings and the supportive participation by our membership. The MSS continues to be a progressive and dynamic organization with an active membership of 200-300 at any given time.
