Ferguson Receives Teaching Excellence AwardButler Named NPhA President

Lakesha Butler, PharmD, BCPS, has been named president of the National Pharmaceutical Association (NPhA). Butler is a clinical professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and the diversity and inclusion coordinator.

Her vision for the two-year term is ACTION in Excellence. She plans to lead her colleagues while focusing on Advocacy, Collaboration, Transformational Branding, Inclusion, Operational Excellence and Next Generation Preparation.

“The National Pharmaceutical Association is dedicated to representing minority pharmacists and underserved communities on crucial issues affecting healthcare and pharmacy, which I am truly passionate about," Butler said. "I see my presidential role as a service to my profession, but more importantly, to patients.

“Leading an organization and working with a variety of persons on my board and general membership allows me to hone my communication skills and motivate others to do their best. Additionally, I get to further practice my leadership style of coaching and modeling, which I use when teaching students.”

Butler has been a strong leader who makes a positive influence on her students. She has served as the faculty advisor for the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) SIUE chapter for over 10 years.

“Service is not an option, it is a responsibility, and I can be an example to my students and patients by showing the importance of impact through service in this national leadership position.”
Lakesha Butler, PharmD, Clinical Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice, and Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator
