MARGARET FOTI was honored at the 41st Annual Congress of the Oncology Nursing Society with the Honorary Member Award. Foti is chief executive officer of the American Association for Cancer Research.

The Honorary Member Award is awarded by the ONS to thank and honor an individual who is not otherwise eligible for ONS membership for his or her contributions to oncology nursing, support of the ONS, and conduct consistent with the ONS mission and core values.

Foti’s formal recognitions include honorary degrees in medicine and surgery from the University of Rome La Sapienza and the University of Catania in Sicily, and an honorary degree in medicine from the University CEU of San Pablo in Madrid. Most recently, she was honored by the Society of Surgical Oncology with the 2016 James Ewing Layperson’s Award.

During Foti’s tenure as CEO, the organization’s membership has grown from about 3,000 to more than 35,000 in 104 countries around the world.
