President – Caribbean Association of Pharmacists ( 2025-27)
Good morning, fellow members and esteemed colleagues of the Caribbean Association of Pharmacists.
I stand before you today both humbled and deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as your 10th President. It is truly an honour and a privilege to lead one of the most prestigious professional organizations in our region — the Caribbean Association of Pharmacists.
This role is not one I take lightly. I recognize the trust you have placed in me, and I pledge to approach it with the seriousness, dedication, and passion it deserves. Our association has a proud history, and I am committed to continuing the hard work of those who came before me.
To our outgoing Executive, I extend my heartfelt thanks for your commitment and service. To our newly elected members — welcome aboard! And to those continuing in your roles — let us unite as one team as we press forward with the important work of advancing our profession.
I must take a moment to acknowledge and thank our outgoing President Ms. Kalawattie Datt-Singh who has served us with distinction for the past 4 years and immediate past president Dr. Marvin Smith, whose leadership and vision has strengthened our foundation. A special thank you as well to Megan Barker, our outstanding First Vice President, for her unwavering support and dedication.
We all know the journey ahead will not be without its challenges. But with the collective effort of our members and the steadfast support of our Executive team, I am confident we will continue to move this association — and the profession of pharmacy — to its rightful place at the forefront of healthcare in the Caribbean.
Together, we will embrace innovation, foster collaboration, and uphold the highest standards of service for the communities we serve.
Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your commitment. And thank you for allowing me to serve.
Let us move forward — together.
