Sara Roszak
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) has appointed Sara Roszak to its newly created position of senior vice president of the office of the CEO.
In an Aug. 26 announcement, the NCPA said Roszak’s responsibilities “will include strategic execution of association-wide initiatives in conjunction with others on the executive leadership team; CEO-level strategic support and advisement; shaping programs, partnerships and initiatives that strengthen community pharmacy; and spearheading the organization’s AI [artificial intelligence] strategy and its implementation.”
Roszak is an industry veteran, most recently serving as the senior vice president of health and wellness strategy and policy for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS). Roszak held additional roles at NACDS, where she “worked with leadership and others to strengthen pharmacy’s role in community-based care and healthcare access, leading initiatives that spanned industry, government, and healthcare stakeholders; advised policy, regulatory strategy, and industry transformation issues; and represented the organization in external engagements with federal stakeholders and national partners.”
“We’re excited to welcome Sara to NCPA and to independent pharmacy,” NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, pharmacist, MBA, said in the announcement. “At this time of continued change both in the pharmacy industry and in trade association operations, her background will help us turn our priorities and initiatives into measurable outcomes, generate new ideas, and create a smarter, more efficient future. I look forward to seeing how Sara’s experience shapes this new position at NCPA as we work together to grow the organization and the industry we represent.”
