Last call for OR Manager Award nominations

Editor's Note

Do you know a perioperative leader who deserves to be honored before their peers at a gathering of virtually the entire industry? This is just one way we honor the recipients of our annual OR Manager Awards—OR Manager of the Year, PACU Leader of the Year, and Ambulatory Nurse Leader of the Year—but you must act fast. The July 30 deadline is rapidly approaching. 

All three winners will appear on-stage at the 2025 OR Manager Conference, scheduled for October 28-30 in Anaheim, California. In a special ceremony, we will celebrate the challenges they have overcome, the new processes and techniques they have innovated, and more. Even if you can’t join us, we hope you will consider spending just a few minutes to nominate someone who inspires you before the end of the month.

For more on the awards and what they mean to recipients and the industry, check out this Q&A with last year’s winners. Highlights include their leadership philosophies, how they have overcome obstacles, their strategies for adapting to change, their goals for the future, and what they have learned while guiding their teams to success.
