Controller Tracy Yaklyvich Recognized for Outstanding Performance, Technical Skills

ASHP Controller Tracy Yaklyvich today received the organization’s 2018 CEO Award for Staff Excellence during the opening session of the Midyear Clinical Meeting in Anaheim, Calif.

The CEO Award for Staff Excellence acknowledges staff members who perform their job duties with distinction.

(Hon.), FASHP. “For nearly three decades, Tracy has been a significant force in maintaining the integrity of our financial management. She continually goes above and beyond to support ASHP, and I’m proud to recognize her for her exceptional service, performance, and commitment.”
