Awards

Who inspires you?
A neighborhood pharmacist who donated medication to a family working through hard times? A pharmacy school instructor who helped you master that topic you initially thought was impossible to comprehend? An exemplary member of your practice area?
NJPhA provides members with an excellent way to thank fellow NJPhA members who are your colleagues, friends, mentors—who made a difference in your career.
Each year at the Annual Meeting and Convention, NJPhA recognizes member-nominated award recipients for their recent contributions (within the last 2-3 years) and achievements, separate from their job description. Award nominations are this year due by August 15. Any submissions received after August 15 will be considered the following year. Please check the impressive list of past recipients (below) before submitting a new nomination.
Few things are more gratifying than peer-recognition. Who will you nominate today?
