In addition to the students from Florida A&M University, students from Howard University, Texas Southern University, Xavier University and other schools were in attendance. The meeting participants numbered about one hund

red. Our many years of success are in part due to the outstanding leadership the association has had over the years. Cunningham was the first Executive Secretary; serving from 1972-1974. Ralph Arline (deceased) succeeded him from 1974-1979. It was in 1979 that SNPhA gained its first female leader, named Heidi Anderson (Currently Dr. Heidi Anderson-Harper). For ten years, she provided impeccable leadership bringing SNPhA into a new era. Dr. Marisa Lewis took the helm in 1989 and continued for the next 16 years in the capacity, the longest tenure of any Executive Director. The current SNPhA administration includes Dr. Carmita Coleman as the National Executive Director, Dr. George Okpamen as the National Assistant Executive Director and Elaine Anderson as the National Executive Assistant. Over the years, SNPhA has been blessed with several assistant executive directors, who included Dr. Terri Smith-Moore, Dr. Monica Lahoz, and Dr. Patricia Lieveld. Dr. Julie Smith served as the current assistant executive director from 1995 to 2007.
