Award Description
The Leonard Share Award was established in 2015 to recognize a Water & Electrolyte Homeostasis (WEH) Section member who has contributed their time and talents to the WEH Section and APS. This award honors a member with a well-recognized research program and who has contributed to the knowledge of WEH research. This award is named after Leonard Share, PhD, who created the WEH Section in 1982 and was responsible for recognizing WEH research as a subdiscipline within the Society.

The nomination package consists of:
- a nomination letter which describes the nominee’s accomplishments and
