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 a Honorific Award dedicated to the recognition of hematologists who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to diversity and inclusion. The ASH Award for Leadership in Promoting Diversity will serve 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. The award honors hematologists who have supported the development of an inclusive hematology workforce, who have encouraged the career development of underrepresented minority trainees, who have made the commitment to inclusiveness in contributions to the mission of ASH, or whose work has aimed to eliminate health disparities in the care of hematology patients.
