Honoring Our 2025 Milestone Members

By Dan’neasha Ellerson, PharmD, BCPS
Interim Membership Chair

At the American College of Apothecaries (ACA), membership is more than an affiliation—it is a commitment to patient‑centered care, professional integrity, lifelong learning, and the enduring value of the apothecary tradition.

We recognize those whose longevity in ACA reflects not only years of membership, but years of belief in our mission, alignment with our values, and active investment in our shared professional community. These members remind us that ACA is not just an organization you join—it is a professional home you grow with.

We especially want to honor our 50+ year members. These four ACA Fellows represents an extraordinary legacy of leadership, service, and stewardship. Your commitment helped establish the culture of professionalism, ethical practice, and collegiality that continues to define ACA today. We are profoundly grateful for the foundation you laid and the example you continue to set.

Thank you to all of the ACA Fellows and Members for a deep belief in the value of professional community, continuous learning, and shared purpose across decades of change in pharmacy practice.

ACA members choose to belong because they value:

• Professional fellowship rooted in shared values
• Lifelong learning through education, mentorship, and dialogue
• Advocacy for patient‑centered, ethical, and personalized care
• A welcoming professional home that supports pharmacists at every stage of practice

To our milestone members: thank you for modeling what lifelong professional engagement looks like.

To those considering membership: know that ACA is built—and sustained—by people just like those recognized here. We invite you to join us, grow with us, and one day celebrate your own milestone anniversary.
