J. Michael McGuire, CPNP Foundation President
As we enter this season of gratitude and thanks, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of you, my colleagues, peers, and donors of the CPNP Foundation. My term as CPNP Foundation Board president is coming to a close at the end of 2021, and I could not be more proud of what has been accomplished in the past two years. We have set our strategic direction, realigning the CPNP Foundation with our parent organization. We have streamlined our goals, priorities, and our efforts to make as big of an impact that we can for our patients and the psychiatric pharmacy profession. I am excited for the future and to see all of the amazing things that the Foundation accomplishes. With such an amazing group of supporters, I know the Foundation will be in good hands with our incoming Foundation Board president, Chris Thomas, PharmD, BCPP.
I would also like to recognize two outgoing Foundation Board members, Carol Ott and Elayne Ansara, who have both provided incredible servant leadership during their time with the Board. Carol and Elayne, thank you for your time, your efforts, and your generosity! You are appreciated, and the work that you have done will have impact for years to come.
To my colleagues in CPNP, will you join me in one last request? Will you please consider a donation to the CPNP Foundation for our year-end campaign? We have big goals for 2022 and beyond, and we need your support now more than ever. The initiatives we have planned will not be successful without you. From leadership development to resident support to growing research and student registration grants, your donation will be directly supporting psychiatric pharmacy and the future of mental health care. Like every organization, COVID-19 paused our fundraising efforts. We are now ramping up and would really appreciate your support.
Please consider a donation today to help us reach and exceed our 2021 year-end goal of $50,000. It has been a privilege to serve you in this role, and I look forward to serving as past-president next year. May your Thanksgiving and holiday season be filled with joy and good health.
