The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Foundation today announced the recipients of the Women in Pharmacy (WIP) Recognition Campaign, a campaign highlighting women of influence in the pharmacy profession. The women will be honored at a special event on October 14, where their biosketches and photos will be unveiled and displayed within the Women in Pharmacy Exhibit and Conference Room at APhA Headquarters in Washington, DC.
The APhA Foundation launched the Women in Pharmacy Recognition Campaign to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the dedication of the Women in Pharmacy Exhibit and Conference Room. The 2022 recipients will join the roster of distinguished women and organizations similarly honored in 2012.
“The women represent a number of “firsts” by women in pharmacy across the domains of leadership, mentorship, community service, practice innovation, and advocacy. Each woman selected has made significant contributions to the profession and serves as role models for all pharmacists,” said Elizabeth Johnson, chair, APhA Foundation Women in Pharmacy Committee and Foundation Board Director.
