Last Chance to Nominate for 2024 ICT® Educator of the Year Award!
Tomorrow, November 1, 2024, at 11:59 PM, is your last chance to nominate an exceptional individual for the 2024 Infection Control Today Educator of the Year Award™!
This prestigious award celebrates educators in infection prevention who inspire, lead, and educate in many forms—not just in classrooms but through everyday teaching moments. Every professional in infection prevention is a teacher, whether demonstrating the 5 moments of hand hygiene, sharing expertise on sterile processing, or mentoring peers.
Take this opportunity to recognize a dedicated infection preventionist who has made a significant impact. The 2023 recipient, Sharon Ward-Fore, MS, BS, MT(ASCP), CIC, FAPIC, exemplifies the spirit of this award. The judges praised her excellence and selfless service, notably her volunteer work at the Veterans Administration and engaging presentations on vital topics like cleaning and disinfection. Winning this award honored Sharon as a trusted, impactful professional in the field.
Sharon reflects on her passion for infection prevention: “I don’t do it for recognition; I do it for the love of infection prevention. Helping others through education allows them to appreciate their roles more. There will be good days and bad, but focusing on the wins, however small, makes it worth it. Although it may not feel like it, you are making a difference.”
Join us in celebrating those who teach, inspire, and elevate infection prevention. Nominate an outstanding educator who deserves this recognition today and help them get the acknowledgment they deserve.
Together, we can honor those who strengthen our commitment to patient care and make learning an enjoyable, collaborative experience.
