2012 Report of the Executive Director/Secretary

Carmen A. Catizone, Executive Director/Secretary, presented the Report of the Executive Director/Secretary during the 108^th Annual Meeting:

“Thank you, Malcolm, and good morning, again, to everyone. It is a pleasure to stand before you, once again, as your executive director. As you heard from yesterday’s reports, it has been an exceptionally busy year for NABP, and I know it has been a busy year for all of you. Philadelphia is kind of an interesting marker for me because it was the site of the first Annual Meeting that I attended in 1986. At that time, the theme of the meeting was, “With Liberty Goes Responsibility.” And Marty Golden, executive director of the Delaware State Board of Pharmacy, was president of NABP. But what is also interesting is some of the items on the agenda at that time. There was a call for increased communication between the boards of pharmacy and NABP, and an effort to educate consumers and patients about what the pharmacist does, and how the pharmacist can help patients.”
