The Pharmacist of the Year Award was developed in 1977 by KPhA and is presented annually to a KPhA member. The awardee must be a KPhA member in good standing; a licensed pharmacist in Kansas; have contributed significantly to the advancement of the profession, the goals of KPhA, the reputation of Kansas Pharmacy, or other readily identifiable professional achievements during the year for which the award is given or at least in a reasonably recent time frame which would support the award title of the Pharmacist of the Year. These accomplishments are expected to be in areas other than ones directly related to employment; and be an individual of the highest degree of integrity and recognized as a professional leader.
Conditions:
- Nominations MUST be accompanied by supportive documentation that illustrates the above criteria. This does not preclude self-nomination.
- Receipt of the award does not preclude receiving the award again.
- The award should not be presented to the current president, immediate past president, or president-elect of KPhA. (This criterion was included in the original rules).
- Every attempt will be made to assure that the award be given each year. If the committee decides that an appropriate awardee cannot be selected from among the nominees, further nominations will be solicited. If this fails, the award will not be made.
