Selection by the AHLA Board of Directors to become an AHLA Fellow is an honor given in recognition of a member’s outstanding service and commitment. Fellows have distinguished themselves in their health law practice or work in the health law community; health law expertise, knowledge, and skills; and through their service and contributions to AHLA. 

The Fellows Program celebrates AHLA’s most talented and illustrious members. The number of AHLA Fellows selected each year varies. Once a member becomes a Fellow, they remain a Fellow and continue to contribute to the Association in meaningful ways.

The Call for Fellows remains open year-round. On December 31, all requests submitted during that calendar year will be reviewed by the Fellows Coordinating Council. The Council’s recommendations for possible inclusion into the new Fellows class are forwarded to the Nominating Committee in the spring. An announcement about the new Fellows class is shared with the AHLA membership and health law community in May.

Any member may self-nominate or nominate/recommend a colleague. All individuals are required to complete a Candidate Request Form. This ensures that the Fellows Coordinating Council has as complete a record as possible of members' accomplishments, contributions, and service. To aid in an equitable and fair review process, names and other identifiable information are removed before being given to the Fellows Coordinating Council. This process is similarly employed for other nominating committee activities.

Those being considered for selection as a Fellow must demonstrate the following: 

Sustained membership in AHLA for 15 years or more 
Sustained practice in health law or in a health-related profession for 15 years or more 
Professional acumen as one of the top health care professionals in their community 
Consistently high level of service to AHLA, e.g., leadership, speaking, writing, mentoring, etc. 
One year departure from AHLA leadership at the time of nomination
