Kiskadden Lectureship
Established in 1970 by Mrs. Margaret Adams Kiskadden in memory of her husband, William S. Kiskadden, a Past President of the Association, was originally intended to be delivered by a foreign guest of the Association. The first Kiskadden Lecturer was Thomas Gibson in 1971, and the next Lecturer was Noshir H. Antia. Subsequent Lecturers have been Americans and, with only two exceptions, scientists and educators (only one of the latter was a plastic surgeon). The family has directed that each Lecturer always shall represent the highest standards in science, education, medical research, or clinical practice. The President of the Association, in accordance with the wishes of the Kiskadden family, shall select the Kiskadden Lecturer for the Annual Meeting at which he presides. Notification of the choice of Lecturer, topic of the Lecture, and a copy of the Lecture program shall be sent to Mrs. Kiskadden. The printed program for the Lecture shall consist of the title and a brief summary of the Lecturer’s curriculum vitae. The Kiskadden Lecturer is to receive up to an $8,000 honorarium. Any investment income in excess of that needed to support the lecture will be directed back to the general Association fund.
