VGM Canada is calling for nominations for HME Leader of the Year 2025.
While the award has been for the HME Woman of the Year in the past, this year’s eligibility has been expanded.
“The Canadian HME Leader of the Year Award is open to all individuals working in the HME or mobility industry in Canada,” a June 6 announcement from VGM Canada said. “We all know someone deserving of recognition for their consistent and exemplary contribution they make to the HME and mobility industry. This is often in the quiet way they impact lives on an individual basis or through their influence on a broader scale. Whether they are under the radar or high profile, they make a rich contribution to the lives of the people served and the industry.”
“At VGM Canada, we believe that leadership knows no bounds,” said Dave Davies, president of VGM Canada. “Renaming the HME Woman of the Year Award to the HME Leader of the Year Award reflects our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and equity. This change ensures that we recognize and celebrate all individuals — regardless of gender — who are making meaningful, often quiet, contributions to the HME and mobility industry across Canada. It’s about honoring impact, not identity.”
VGM Canada will be accepting nominations through June 30. This year’s winner will be announced at the Canadian Seating and Mobility Conference on Sept. 9 in Toronto.
Last year’s winner was Brenlee Mogul-Rotman, B.Sc., OT, OT Reg. (Ont), ATP/SMS, national clinical and technical education manager for Permobil.
