Background
This award is named for Gill Bradbury, who passed away in 2020. Gill was our inimitable Conference Medical Coordinator. A force of nature, Gill was brilliant to work with. Gill went above and beyond to care for our delegates. Despite always being on duty, Gill was the life and soul of the after hours party. Gill is irreplaceable at our conference and in our hearts.
