Adding to a long list of career accomplishments, May Woo, the Houston regional pharmacist who has been with Emerus for seven years, has been appointed chairperson of the American Pharmacists Association House of Delegates Policy Review Committee.
This committee is charged with ensuring that adopted policy is relevant and reflects the opinion of the contemporary pharmacy community.
In March 2016, at the annual APhA convention, Woo was a member of the Canvasser’s Committee. Her role was to observe the administration of the electronic voting process for the election of the Speaker-elect during the final session of the APhA House.
The Policy Review Committee meets via conference call to determine whether adopted policy statements should be retained, archived, or rescinded. The committee can propose new business Items for those statements needing amendment.
The Committee’s review is divided into two parts. Part One reviews adopted policy statements according to the schedule outlined in the House of Delegates Rules of Procedure. Part Two reviews adopted policy topics assigned to APhA’s Policy Committee.
Generally, the Policy Review Committee is comprised of seven to 10 APhA members from diverse pharmacy practice backgrounds.
Among her previous honors, Woo was named national president-elect/president/immediate past president, Phi Lambda Sigma (2008-11); named among 50 Outstanding Alumni, UHCOP 50th Anniversary (1997); Harris County Pharmacy Association Distinguished Young Pharmacist of the Year Award (1996); “40 Under 40” Pharmacists, Texas Pharmacy Association (2005); Eckerd Drug Co.
