Congratulations to Dr. Bled Tanoe! She has been an inspiration to me personally and has restored my motivation to continue the fight towards pharmacy practice reform. I’m hopeful for the profession of pharmacy for the unrelentless work she has done. Personal thanks to her for her courage.

Thank you Todd and PPN for this outstanding recognition, without you our voices would be much less amplified and our solutions would take longer to achieve. To all my fellow influencers, pioneers, thought leaders, firebrands, waymakers, gamechangers and visionaries…congratulations. All those titles sound nice, but we all know the hard work, persistance, determination and constant teaching and communication it takes to create change for the good within the pharmacy profession and beyond. Thank you for showing up.
