Marsha Millonig, MBA, BSPharm, a practicing pharmacist who works with both independent and chain pharmacies, received the Lawrence C. and Delores M. Weaver Medal at a reception on April 9.

“It is such a humbling honor to be chosen to receive the Weaver Medal,” Millonig said. “Larry and Dee Weaver were and are, respectively, colleagues, mentors, and friends since I began studying pharmacy in 1979. They provided steadying hands during my entire career in both Minnesota and Washington D.C. To receive recognition in their honor is so meaningful. More so is my selection by former recipients who represent such an esteemed group of colleagues of which I am so honored to become part of and I will continue to aspire to earn their respect.”
