NCPA President Kristen Riddle, PharmD, has a message for anyone doubting themselves: "When something is hard, you don't quit. You continue. The courage to continue is what matters." That's the philosophy that has driven her throughout her career, whether it was starting new businesses, balancing parenting and pharmacy work, or advocating for community pharmacies in the face of harsh resistance by PBMs. NCPA members can read all about Kristen in this month's issue of America's Pharmacist®, alongside a recap of the biggest news from our 2025 Annual Convention, a profile of NCPA member Melody Savley, BPharm, of Alps Pharmacy in Missouri, and much more.
