ASH Award for Leadership in Promoting Diversity

ASH continues to embrace the values of diversity and inclusion by leading efforts to promote the advancement of underrepresented groups in hematology. In support of this organizational priority, the Awards Committee and the Committee on Promoting Diversity have created an Honorific Award to honor hematologists who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The ASH Award for Leadership in Promoting Diversity serves as a visible example of the respect that ASH has for those committed to diversity and the inclusion in hematology of those who face barriers to success because of societal disadvantages. An individual may be nominated for:

• Significant leadership/mentorship that has benefited the career development of trainees from underrepresented groups
• Contributions that have led to a more diverse and inclusive hematology workforce
• Commitment to diversity and inclusiveness within ASH
• Accomplishments that aim to eliminate health disparities in the care of hematology patients
