A Note from the Executive Vice President:
Reflections on the Passing of Le Grand Dame
Each profession has legendary figures that have pioneered and shaped the profession we now enjoy.
Sara White represents one of those legendary figures.
Sara had a remarkable career, and Ohio is proud to claim her as she graduated from the Ohio State University MS program in 1972 and became one of the disciples of Clifton Latiolais. She joined Harold Godwin, another previous OSU graduate at the University of Kansas as his Associate for over 20 years before she became the Director of Pharmacy at Stanford University for the next 14 years. As this residency program will celebrate its 65th anniversary at the ASHP midyear meeting in New Orleans there will be a hole in the heart of the program and many past students, residents and colleagues that were touched by her life.
Sarah continued her legacy after her retirement in 2003 when she focused on leadership development and authored the AJHP series.” Success Skills” and co-authored the leadership Field Guide and the Leadership Gap. She was a stalwart champion for Women in Pharmacy and chaired the ASHP Women in Pharmacy Leadership Steering Committee.
Sara was the recipient of numerous awards including the Harvey A.K. Whitney award and the Clifton J. Latiolais award from the Ohio State university College of Pharmacy, John Webb Lecture Award and the Harold Godwin Lecture Award and the Lifetime achievement award at the Ohio State College of Pharmacy just last year.
Despite all of her success and recognition, Sara enjoyed talking to and mentoring young students and residents as she trained over 100 residents during her career. She truly adopted pharmacy as her family and pharmacy adopted her as Le Grand Dame of the profession (the name given to Veuve Clicquot the famous female champagne maker who broke the glass ceiling for women wine owners in the 18-th century France).
We will miss her ever presence at ASHP and other meetings and will now have to live her advice to honor her efforts and achievements. Rest well Sara as we are reflecting on how you work improved the role of all pharmacists.
