Volunteer Recognition

The Academy recognizes volunteers through its Leadership Circle for Volunteerism Program. Members who volunteer can submit their activities and once they accumulate over 100 hours they will be recognized as members of the Leadership Circle.

The Members Making a Difference Award Program is a way for the Academy to recognize members who give back to dermatology through volunteer service.

In order to nominate someone for a Member Making a Difference Award, complete the online application. If you have questions about the program please contact the Member Services department at volunteer@aad.org.
