I have been involved with CARE for about 11 years now. I've seen CARE from different perspectives as a pharmacy student, a staff pharmacist, a pharmacy owner and as a member of the board of directors. CARE has gone through several changes over the years with some of those changes being good and some not so good. I've always believed that being a part of CARE would result in benefits that other pharmacy organizations could not provide. I can now proudly say that CARE is moving in the right direction under the leadership of our current CEO Gerry Crocker and our current Board of Directors.

I remember that one of the first things that Gerry asked the board members as the new CEO was: What is your vision for CARE? My answer was that I envisioned CARE as an organization that would be so valuable and attractive that there would be a long line of people waiting and wanting to get in much like the line of people you see at the best restaurant in town on a Friday night.

I'm proud to say that I feel that CARE is on the path to being exactly what I envisioned. I feel good about the direction CARE is heading and I'm glad to be aboard this ship as it sails in to the sunset of success.
