We are pleased to provide you with this report of the 2024 AAHKS Nominating Committee, chaired by Immediate Past President Javad Parvizi, MD, FRCS.

The Nominating Committee selected a slate of candidates for the open positions of Third Vice President, two Members-at-Large and three members of the 2025 Nominating Committee. The Committee considered all members who volunteered or were put forward for consideration. The AAHKS Board of Directors has endorsed the Nominating Committee’s slate of candidates and the election will take place during the Annual Business Meeting, Sunday, Nov. 10, prior to the start of the General Session of the 2024 AAHKS Annual Meeting.

  • Third Vice President (2025–2026): Gregory G. Polkowski II, MD, MSc
  • Members-at-Large (2025–2027): Ugo N. Ihekweazu, MD, FAAOS and Jonathan M. Vigdorchik, MD, FAAOS
  • Nominating Committee Members (2025): Michael P. Ast, MDNathanael D. Heckmann, MD and Linda I. Suleiman, MD

Our election process also allows for nominations “from the floor” in addition to the slated candidates. While floor nominations are rarely proposed, this year, AAHKS has established a process to ensure that any additional candidate nominated in this manner meets the qualifications for the office and agrees to the nomination. In order to accomplish this, we ask that any floor nomination be made via email to Connect@AAHKS.org no later than Friday, Nov. 1. If the nominee meets the qualifications and agrees to run, there will be a contested election between the slated candidate and the floor-nominated candidate at the Business Meeting. No additional nominations will be solicited on Sunday.

All members are encouraged to attend the Annual Business Meeting. Only those members present may vote.

The Committee, being properly seated in accordance with the bylaws of the organization and following the prescribed process, consisted of the following members in good standing:

  • Javad Parvizi, MD, FRCS, Chair, Immediate Past President
  • Leonard T. Buller, MD
  • Elizabeth B. Gausden, MD, MPH
  • Carlos A. Higuera-Rueda, MD, FAAOS
  • Jay R. Lieberman, MD
