American Network of Pharmaceutical Care) to begin offering free online training programs to all members. This year, the 12th IPSF PARO Regional Assembly named our main regional award the Carlos Juarez Award. I am incredibly thrilled to dedicate this award to such an amazing individual. Mr. Carlos “Desmadre” Juarez is a pharmacist from Mexico who has brought the IPSF spirit to Latin America since 1973. He has been involved in many projects, such as organizing the first IPSF World Congress in the Americas and attending IPSF events across the world, and he continues to assist associations in the region to

advocate for the pharmaceutical profession. I am proud that our regional award now has a distinguished name in honor of such an inspiring pharmacist. To finish, I want invite you all to participate in the 11th IPSF PARS that will be hosted in Ottawa, Canada in July 2017. Having greater attendance of PARO members from across the region will not only help our region grow as we become more open-minded colleagues, but, more importantly, as a even more connected family. Don’t wait for things to happen, make things happen. Viva la pharmacie.
