KPhA is moving to a rolling nomination period for its Annual Awards. A nominator can submit a name, contact information, category, and their “why” at any time throughout the year.

KPhA staff would pull all nominations in March, categorize, and reach out to nominees and have them fill out an application that provides the specific information each award requires (due by end of April). Then KPhA would provide data to the Engagement Committee for review and to make recommendations to the KPhA Board of Directors for selection. Thecommittee recommended, and the board agreed, this will help provide a greater pool of applicants each year since nominations can come when a nominator thinks about it rather than having to wait and try to remember why they thought the candidate was a good choice months later.

Additionally, the Emerging Pharmacy Leader will be chosen for the first time at the 2025 KPhA Annual Meeting and Trade Show.

Presented to a P1-P3 student who shows promise as a leader in the profession, nominees must be in good academic standing and engaged in pharmacy organizations and the association. Holding a leadership position is not required, but is a bonus. Nominations can come from anyone who believes the candidate is a good fit (ie faculty, preceptor, employer, etc).

Nominations for the 2025 Awards must be received by March 1.
