The American Head and Neck Society’s Margaret F. Butler award page lists November 14, 2026, as the nomination deadline for its 2027 award recognizing mentorship and sponsorship of women in head and neck surgery.

The stated submission package includes a nomination letter, a second supporting letter from an AHNS member, and the nominee’s CV or résumé. Current or past AHNS membership is preferred for nominees but is not required. These are separate rules: nominee eligibility should not be confused with the membership requirement attached to the second supporting letter.

AHNS says the 2027 award recipient will be honored at its Women in Head and Neck Surgery reception at the AHNS Annual Meeting. The page lists April 7–8, 2027, for that meeting at COSM in Seattle; it does not give a separate date or time for the reception.

The requirements were reviewed on October 16, 2026. The page’s original publication and update dates and the deadline’s exact hour and time zone were not established. Prospective nominators should confirm the current requirements with AHNS before preparing materials.

WHY WE’RE FOLLOWING IT / EDITORIAL CONTEXT

Nominee membership is a preference, while the second supporting letter must come from an AHNS member. Keeping those rules separate helps nominators prepare the stated submission package.
