Are You a “Leader-in-Waiting”?

Abstract

C J H P – Vol. 59, No. 4 – September 2006 J C P H – Vol. 59, n 4 – septembre 2006 challenging ourselves or our colleagues. Without the encouragement and support of my colleagues at CSHP, I know that I wouldn’t be here, facing this new challenge. CSHP’s Hospital Pharmacy Management Leadership Task Force, chaired by Robin Ensom, is exploring opportunities for CSHP to provide and support leadership development programs for hospital pharmacists. As the executive officer responsible for the Vision Portfolio, I will oversee Vision 2010. Being involved with Vision 2006 from the beginning has been both a learning and rewarding experience. Vision 2010 will introduce many exciting initiatives for the Society as a whole, and for our individual members. I can’t wait to share them with you! CSHP wants to engage its members in practice goals and objectives (which will include national benchmarking and targets) and will continue to advocate for hospital pharmacists at the national and branch levels. And of course, we’re still looking for ways to inspire, support, recognize, and reward our members. I believe it is very important for CSHP to recognize the “value” and “leadership potential” of our members. CSHP’s volunteers drive the organization, and they should feel appreciated! So come out and get involved. You could be a leader-in-waiting!
