Press Release Liza Chapman
November 2, 2020
The Georgia Pharmacy Foundation is happy to announce Dr. Liza Chapman as chairman, effective immediately. Liza is currently Vice President of Partnership Development for the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, better known in the industry as PTCB. Prior to joining PTCB, Liza was the pharmacy clinical sales coordinator and residency site coordinator with the Kroger Company in Atlanta, Georgia, where she was employed for over 15 years.
Liza is a graduate of Mercer University College of Pharmacy and has been licensed since 2002. She has earned APhA certifications in diabetes, dyslipidemia, immunization delivery, and MTM, and is a certified trainer for APhA’s diabetes immunization, and MTM certificate programs. Her track record as a researcher, guest speaker, and CPE instructor is extensive, and she has been published in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association and has authored chapters in Introduction to the Pharmacy Profession and Community and Clinical Pharmacy Services: A Step-by-Step Approach. In addition, she has been widely recognized as a pharmacy and community leader and has been awarded a number of honors for her work here in Georgia.
When Georgia first considered authorizing pharmacists to administer influenza vaccines under a protocol agreement with physicians, Dr. Chapman took the leading role as GPhA’s spokesperson and volunteer advocate for passage of that law. Her work helped pave the way for expanding the range of immunizations pharmacists can administer in Georgia without a prescription in 2015.
For all of the above and more, Liza was recognized and became an APhA Fellow in 2017. Liza has served in various capacities with GPhA including GPhA President. By now, you should be aware that Liza is an extraordinary leader, person, and role model for the pharmacy profession. Welcome back, Liza!
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr. Jim Bartling, who served the Georgia Pharmacy Foundation for many years. I can never fill Jim’s shoes, but I am honored to have the opportunity to serve again on the Foundation board and continue the legacy that Jim has created.”
-Liza Chapman, PharmD, FAPhA
