Women's Leadership Awards
The Women's Leadership Awards honor outstanding female leaders in foot and ankle orthopaedics through two awards:
The Career Impact Award recognizes women who have made exceptional contributions to the field of orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery. The nominee for this award does not need to be an AOFAS member; however, membership is preferred.
The Career Development Award recognizes the professional aspirations and commitment of early- and mid-career women in orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery. The nominee for this award must be an AOFAS Active, Candidate, International, or Associate Member in the first 10 years of practice.
Each award winner will serve as a podium speaker at AOFAS Annual Meeting 2025, September 10-13, 2025, in Savannah, Georgia, and receive complimentary meeting registration and a travel stipend. The winners will also speak at the Women's Leadership Reception held during the meeting.
Nominations are due December 1, 2024. You may nominate yourself or a colleague for an award. The nomination must include a completed nomination form and letter of recommendation (or personal statement if you are self-nominating.)
