The AAWC has been proud to honor the "AAWC Distinguished Member
Award" to many influential and dedicated AAWC Members over the
last ten years. Selected by the AAWC Awards Committee and approved
by the AAWC Board of Directors, the AAWC Distinguished Member Award
is given annually at the AAWC Membership Meeting at the Symposium on
Advanced Wound Care to those members who have selflessly volunteered
an abundance of their time and talents to the AAWC and have gone "above
and beyond the call of duty" to move the Association forward.
1997 – John Boswick, MD
The first recipient of the Distinguished Member Award was the late
Dr. John Boswick for his contributions to wound care and the establishment
of the AAWC. Dr. Boswick was well known in the Wound Care Community.
He had been a driving force in all areas of our mission: education,
clinical practice, research and public policy and international
initiatives.
1998 – Dr. Diane L. Krasner

Dr. Nick Przystawski was also bestowed with the award for his outstanding
work with the AAWC Finances as AAWC Treasurer (2000-2004) and for

10th Anniversary than Evonne Fowler, RN, CWN, CWOCN, the Founding
President of the AAWC? Evonne was honored at the 10th Anniversary
Membership Meeting and Celebration at SAWC in San Diego in April
for her vision as AAWC Founding President in 1996 and for her continued
support of the Association as an active and enthusiastic Charter
Member.
2006 – Tim Paine, PT, FCCWS
Under Tim’s steadfast leadership since 2002, the AAWC Quality
of Care Task Force has carefully drafted, thoroughly revised and
finalized for publication a board-approved white paper entitled “AAWC
Conceptual Framework of Quality Systems for Wound Care.” The
AAWC Conceptual Framework of Quality Systems for Wound Care is a
comprehensive quality management guide designed for wound care. This
framework can and should be used to encourage positive change in
wound care practices across the country.
