Individuals are chosen for this honor based on their service and leadership in the ORS organization, and their achievements, thought leadership and contributions to the field of musculoskeletal research.
Dr. Lieber has been a member of ORS since 1985, serving in multiple roles as a volunteer, educational program faculty member and legislative advocate. From 2008–2010, he was a member of the ORS Board of Directors. His research has been featured at scores of ORS meetings.

He is my role model as a researcher, who also happened to have an infectious smile and a great sense of humor. I am very happy that the ORS has been able to demonstrate our appreciation for everything Dr. Lieber has done for the society and the orthopedic field. Congratulations Richard!”
