Dear HCM Colleagues,
HCM is seeking nominations for the Myron D. Fottler Exceptional Service Award, considered by many to be the most distinguished award given by the HCM Division. Please consider nominating a colleague or self-nominating.
As this year marks a Dr. Fottler's passing, we seek outstanding nominations that meet the award recognition criteria.
The Fottler Award was established to recognize a member of the Division who has provided extraordinary service to HCM and to the profession. It is not an annual award; rather it is given only when the Division identifies a suitable nominee who meets the following requirements:
- The individual must have dedicated at least ten years to the Health Care Management Division and to the profession, and must have established a consistently strong presence in the Division over a long period of time.
- The individual must have served as a meaningful mentor, not only to colleagues and students at his or her own university, but also to others in HCM.
- If the individual has served as a Division officer, they must have continued active participation in the Division long after serving as a Division officer. (This requirement automatically exempts anyone for consideration while a current officer)

The deadline for nominations is June 11th. Nominations must be submitted to the Division chair-elect, Deirdre McCaughey at deirdre.mccaughey@ucalgary.ca.
The winner will be announced at the annual meeting and recognized during the Division's Distinguished Scholar Keynote Address and Awards Ceremony. At this event, we will also honor Dr. Fottler, who passed in 2025. We look forward to recognizing someone who reflects Dr. Fottler's service to the Division.
