Bright Lights Awards nominations now open
Shine a light on your team’s achievements. Nominate an outstanding team or individual for a “Bright Lights” Award by July 15, 2024.
AFHTO’s “Bright Lights” Awards recognize AFHTO members’ leadership, outstanding work and the significant progress being made to improve the value interprofessional primary care teams across Ontario deliver.
And for your consideration:
- NEW– We are considering a Bright Lights poster section. Combined with longer poster breaks this year, this will provide greater exposure for nominees.
- GET YOUR PARTNERS INVOLVED – if you’re proud of work you’ve done with your OHT or other partners, you can get their help with your nomination. If the work is led by an AFHTO member or you otherwise play an integral role, it’s eligible for nomination.
There’s no better time to show what you can do. The deadline is July 15. Learn more here.
