 A Message from Your Executive Vice President Cynthia Blankenship, Esq.


IACP Executive Vice President Cynthia Blankenship, Esq.
Dear IACP Members:  
Following my father's passing, I have given a lot of thought and spent a lot of time praying and discussing with my family as to what is best for my family. It is with great gratitude for the opportunity to work for IACP for the past six years, that I come to you with a heavy heart to announce my resignation. My last day will be May 4 th.  

I feel we accomplished a great deal together these past six years, and I have enjoyed how much we've done together during the past year during my term as Executive Vice President. I am confident that IACP is in a much better place and has leaders in place that will only improve IACP in the future. The engagement and participation of the IACP Board and Chairs is absolutely essential for the success of IACP.  

In anticipation of my departure, I am preparing a very extensive departure memo that will be sent to the Executive Committee to be provided to the incoming EVP. The memo will be a deep dive into all IACP programs, changes we have incorporated, and any outstanding matters. We have completed our projects launch calendar with only CCH promotion remaining, but I have detailed every program and the rationale behind it in the memo to provide insight into what each new program offers. The memo will also contain contact information for everyone we work with, including the DQSA Coalition, affiliates, those we have contracts with, etc. It will be my way of introducing the new EVP to all those I've worked with over the past six years.  

Thank you for the opportunity to serve IACP and its members for the past six years. It has been a journey I will always remember and cherish. I will always consider pharmacists family. After pouring my heart and soul into IACP the past six years and pharmacists the past 11 years of my career, I wish each of the Board members, EC, IACP members, and IACP the absolute best, with what I hope to be many prosperous years. Thank you for the friendships I will carry with me for a lifetime.  

Sincerely,  

Cynthia Blankenship  
 President's Thank you to EVP

IACP President, Erik Tosh, BS, DPh, FIACP, FACA
The IACP Board and Executive Committee (EC) thank Cynthia for her many years of service to our organization, membership, and ultimately the patients we serve. Cynthia has been with IACP during some of the most challenging times compounding has encountered. Her guidance and leadership were invaluable. We will miss her energy and sharp focus on the issues.
Cynthia is working closely with the EC and staff to ensure a smooth transition in leadership. Additionally, her input on the evolution of the organization during her time with us will provide the next leader with strategic tools that are needed to grow IACP.
During this period, I and the IACP Board EC will ensure member-driven initiatives are implemented. We will announce Interim EVP as soon as possible.
We encourage every member to take a minute to send a thank you to Cynthia.
Lastly, I want to personally thank Cynthia for her profound sense of duty and love of family.
With deepest regret on your departure and best wishes for your future,
Erik Tosh, D.Ph., FIACP, FACA
President, IACP
