Dr. Christopher Lamy Receives the 2023 Distinguished Service Award

Congratulations to Christopher J. Lamy, DPM, FACFAS on receiving this year’s Distinguished Service Award!

 

Dr. Lamy has spent more than 20 years volunteering for the College. Most notably, Dr. Lamy’s leadership encompassed an area of technical instruction, where he served on the Surgical Skills Committee for six years, two of those as chair. In addition, Dr. Lamy played an important role in the College's electronic media offerings at a critical point in its evolution, where he helped optimize the College's web presence leading up to the year 2000.

 

“Under his leadership, Dr. Lamy had a distinct impact on virtually every one of our ACFAS Board members, either as a co-committee member, a mentor or a surgical instructor,” said Dr. Michael Cornelison, DPM, FACFAS, immediate-past-president of ACFAS. “Because of his impact, we as a Board were very proud to cast our vote for him to receive such an honorable award.”
