Legacy Celebration Gala

Our most elegant affair, the Legacy Celebration Gala is a night to honor the trailblazers who have shaped the Women's Dermatologic Society and to support the mission that drives us forward. Net proceeds go to the WDS Legacy Long Term Reserve Fund to benefit board-directed strategic initiatives and key WDS programs, including mentorship, leadership training, and global outreach.

Congratulations to the 2025 honoree, Adelaide Hebert, M.D., and thank you to the Legacy Committee for planning an outstanding event in her honor. We are also grateful to the many VIP supporters, donors, sponsors, and attendees who made the celebration possible. The event photos demonstrate the special place Dr. Hebert has in the hearts and minds of WDS members.

The date, location, and honoree for the 2026 Legacy Celebration will be announced soon.
