NABP's VIPPS Elected to ASAE "Honor Roll"

NABP has been elected to the Associations Advance America Honor Roll, a national awards competition sponsored by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), Washington, DC, in recognition of its Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites™ (VIPPS™) program.

Specifically, ASAE recognized NABP's VIPPS program for its efforts to inform consumers about those online pharmacies that have met the rigorous 17-point VIPPS criteria, and are in compliance with the licensure laws of the jurisdictions in which they practice pharmacy. By clicking on the VIPPS seal found on the home pages of program-certified online pharmacies, consumers are instantly hyperlinked to NABP's VIPPS Web site, where they may access specific information that will assist them in choosing an online pharmacy they can trust with their family's health care needs.

"We are pleased that the ASAE has recognized NABP and the VIPPS certification program," comments Jerry Moore, JD, RPh, NABP president. "To have been included on ASAE's Associations Advance America Honor Roll is, indeed, an honor for NABP."

Now in its 10th year, the Associations Advance America awards program recognizes associations that propel America forward with innovative projects in education, skills training, standards-setting, business and social innovation, knowledge creation, citizenship, and community service.

"Your program is a perfect example of how associations play a vital role in helping the nation adapt to complex and changing times," says Michael S. Olson, CAE, ASAE president and CEO, in regards to the VIPPS program. "Contributions such as yours are vital, and add real value to society."
