The American Orthopaedic Association (AOA) Scott D. Boden Emerging Leaders Forum is a two-day workshop offering meaningful leadership-focused sessions, in-depth discussions, and opportunities to network with established leaders in orthopaedics. The 2027 Emerging Leaders Forum will focus on the leadership principle of inclusivity, with topics such as leading across differences, building effective team environments, dealing with conflict, and how bias impacts success.
AOFAS will sponsor 1-2 members to participate in the 2027 Emerging Leaders Forum, taking place May 11-12, 2027, in Atlanta, Georgia. Sponsored participants will receive two nights' hotel accommodations in Atlanta (May 10 and 11) and reimbursement for airfare (up to $600) and travel expenses such as ground transportation.
