The AAOHN Fellowship recognizes AAOHN members who are nursing leaders making significant contributions to the field of occupational and environmental health nursing in the areas of clinical practice, education, research, management, or policy.  As members of AAOHN, Fellows comprise a group of leaders who provide vision to advance the skills, knowledge, and abilities of occupational & environmental health nurses; influence policy; contribute to research; and exemplify highly effective management and clinical practices.  Fellows must be nominated by two sponsors:  an active member of AAOHN and a secondary sponsor (someone who is a professional in the field, but not necessarily an AAOHN member).  COAOHN is honored this year with the induction of two of our members.  Congratulations!
