The annual ATS Women's Forum recognizes the achievements and supports the advancement of women in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine and research. In addition, the 2018 Elizabeth A. Rich, MD Award, which honors the memory and work of Elizabeth Rich, MD, will be presented to a female ATS member. The awardee will be a woman who has made significant achievements in the practice or science of pulmonary, critical care, or sleep medicine; demonstrated leadership in her field; and has shown dedicated mentorship of junior colleagues. The award recipient will also address the audience. The forum provides a valuable opportunity for women to meet new colleagues and ATS leaders. Men are also welcome to attend the forum. Attendees will find value in the inspirational messages and career insights the speakers share as well as vibrant networking opportunities. The forum is organized and presented by the ATS Membership Committee, and will be hosted by Janet Lee, MD, chair of the committee.
