Congratulations to the 2023 AASECT Annual Award Recipients!
I want to express gratitude to our team of 27 AASECT members who volunteered their labor to review all of the nominations for the 14 Awards that you will see here.
Thank you, all, for the work you have put into this committee. These nominations included an ever-growing body of work of so many talented sexuality professionals. All of the nominees should be proud of their accomplishments.
The Awards Committee gives us at AASECT an opportunity to acknowledge and highlight many voices from several different positionalities that have the endorsement of our peers.
Please help us to continue our support and celebration of the AASECT 2023 Award Winners!
