Educator of the Year Awards

Educator awards exemplifying individuals’ contributions to AO NA teaching, mentoring, and support 

The OneAO 2024 Program Committee has approved a new featured event to be held at every OneAO meeting starting this year: the AO NA Educator of the Year Awards.

In collaboration with each clinical division’s education committee, we have created named educator awards that exemplify individuals’ contributions to teaching, mentoring, and support provided at our educational events. The chosen individuals must have also contributed to the overall advancement of their clinical division and the AO NA education mission.
