Candidate Statement:
Three years ago I was greatly honored to be elected by the membership to serve as a director of the American Pharmacists Association Foundation. At that time I promised that I would bring not along my experience as a pharmacist, but the experience of serving in a leadership role in a large foundation and other health care organizations that pharmacists had not been involved in.
I feel that I have kept that promise and have gone even further. I have served on the Pinnacle Awards Selection Committee, the Development Committee, and I presently serve as Chair of the Governance Committee. I have also faithfully supported the Foundation financially by being a member of the 1953 Society and a contributor to Pharmacists Care and the Bowl of Hygeia Fund.
I would love to build on the work that I have done over the past three years. As a board we have made great strides. I would love to be a part of moving the board and Foundation even further.
