Women's Leadership Initiative

Nominations for the 2019 Women's Leadership Awards are now closed. Award recipients will be announced at AOFAS Annual Meeting.

The AOFAS Women’s Leadership Initiative supports and encourages women in foot and ankle orthopaedic surgery. As part of the initiative, the AOFAS and Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation established the Women’s Leadership Award and Women’s International Leadership Award. The awards are presented annually to one woman in the US or Canada and one woman outside the US/Canada who demonstrate leadership in orthopaedics as well as research, humanitarian efforts, education, business, and/or philanthropy.

Congratulations to Ruth L. Thomas, MD, recipient of the 2018 Women's Leadership Award, and Su-Young Bae, MD, PhD, recipient of the 2018 Women's International Leadership Award!

The Women's Leadership Initiative is funded through individual and corporate gifts to the Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation.
