AHRMM Leadership Award

The George R. Gossett Leadership Award is presented by AHRMM in memory of George R. Gossett, an early president of the association. Gossett envisioned the prominence of supply chain in health care and championed the educational and professional development of the discipline. It is the highest honor bestowed by the association, and is given to an individual who has demonstrated an extraordinary level of leadership and professionalism in the field, made significant contributions to AHRMM, or advanced the health care supply chain.

The award is presented at the AHRMM Annual Conference & Exhibition. Every recipient is recognized in a special presentation and receives an award for their contributions. AHRMM also covers Annual Conference travel expenses for the award recipient.
