Nominate Colleagues by August 25 for Prestigious ACS Awards

July 16, 2025

Honors Committee

The ACS invites members to nominate colleagues for six prestigious awards. Nominations of candidates from all surgical specialties and geographical locations, especially for Honorary Fellowship, are highly desired.

The Honors Committee, which administers the awards, will review the nominations and send them to the Board of Regents for final approval.

Submissions are accepted throughout the year and considered for selection annually according to the following schedule:

Nominations must be received by August 25 in order to be included on the next Honors Committee meeting agenda. Nominations received after that date will be held for future consideration.

Visit facs.org/honorscommittee for award criteria and instructions for submitting a nomination.
