Established in 2000, the ASHP Executive Vice President’s Award for Courageous Service recognizes individuals or groups of individuals in health-system pharmacy who go beyond the call or assignment of duty to serve patients or assist pharmacists in serving patients, such as under emergency conditions or in times of natural disaster or other cataclysmic events. The award is for specific incidents of inspiring, unselfish service under adverse conditions. The award consists of a framed certificate and may be granted at any time at the discretion of the ASHP Executive Vice President. ASHP members, staff members, and others may nominate individuals for the award, which may be given without regard to membership in the Society.
Nominating Instructions
Nominees may be suggested at any time in writing with substantiating evidence. Current ASHP Board members and ASHP staff are not eligible.
A link to the nomination form will be added on this page when the Call for Nominations is distributed.
You may email questions and nominations to the Office of Member Relations at membership@ashp.org.
During other times of the year, please e-mail your nomination for the Award for Courageous Service along with substantiating evidence and a CV to membership@ashp.org.
