Editor's Note
H
ello! My name is Jordan Foster and I am proud to be the new Director of Communications for the Arkansas Pharmacists Association. After graduating from Harding University, I started my career in communications in 2005 at the Central Arkansas Fox affiliate, KLRT Fox16, and at River Rock Communications which produces Talk Business with Roby Brock. From there, I worked at the Arkansas state capitol for the Honorable Charlie Daniels in the Secretary of State’s and Auditor of State’s offices. In the four short months since I’ve begun my journey here, I’ve experienced my first AR•Rx issue, my first convention, my first board meeting, and countless other firsts that have taught me more and more about this wonderful organization.

I would like to thank Mark Riley, Scott Pace, the APA staff, and the board of directors for being so welcoming and helpful while I’ve been establishing myself in this new role. I would especially like to thank former Director of Communications Eileen Denne for her help during the transition. Eileen revolutionized the communications department at APA and I plan on continuing her work and bringing in my own perspectives and ideas to further the work of the association and how it communicates to its members. There is not a single Arkansan whose life has not been touched in some way by a pharmacist. Over the last few months, I’ve had my eyes opened to a world that I once took for granted. Now, I’m ready to work with the rest of the APA staff to support and advocate for Arkansas pharmacists and to show the public the incredible resources available just around the corner at their local pharmacy.
