Elizabeth VanWert

Candidate Statement
I am excited to express my interest in serving as the treasurer/secretary for AEMP’s Executive Committee. I am passionate about advancing EM pharmacy practice, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration, and supporting the continued growth of both AEMP and SAEM. I believe my organizational skills and financial stewardship can effectively support the committee’s goals.
I bring over 10 years of ED pharmacy clinical and operational experience at Michigan Medicine Health. My work includes establishing an ED pharmacy residency, serving as residency program director for six years, and leading initiatives to improve patient care and pharmacy services. My involvement with AEMP and SAEM experience includes serving on the AEMP Executive Committee, SAEM ED Administrative and Operations Committee, the Career Development Committee, and recently as charge lead for the 2026 SAEM Innovations Session.
As Treasurer, I aim to ensure timely, accurate management of financial transactions, particularly as our organization’s structure and revenue streams evolve with growing membership. I will work collaboratively to align financial practices with the missions of SAEM and AEMP, and support activities that elevate EM pharmacy practice. As secretary, I will leverage this experience to maintain detailed, transparent records of meetings, membership, and key decisions, ensuring continuity and communication across committees. Overall, I hope to help strengthen AEMP and SAEM’s infrastructure, enhance transparency, and promote sustainable growth in support of our members and the organization’s shared mission.
