Board Service Award - Lonnie Hollingsworth
In collaboration with the National Community Pharmacy Association (NCPA) Foundation, and on behalf of the Community Pharmacy Foundation, Board Member, Dorinda Martin presented Lonnie Hollingsworth with the Outstanding Board Service Award. It was Dorinda's honor to present the award, as Lonnie is a long-time friend and mentor. Throughout his impressive career, Lonnie has served on numerous boards, held many offices, and has made significant contributions to the profession of pharmacy. Lonnie was an original appointed board member when CPF was founded back in 2000. He has contributed his time, humor, talents, and, of course, 'Lonnie-isms' to the CPF Board for 14 years! It is our pleasure to call him Board Member Emeritus.
