Planning and implementation of such initiatives also involve various appropriate health partners and a demonstrated knowledge of the cultural context. Nomination Criteria To qualify for the Dr. M. Ian Bowmer Award for Leadership in Social Accountability, a nominee should demonstrate the qualities of leadership described above.
