Postgraduate Training Fellowship Focuses on Leadership and Management
ASHP has selected Amanda Grant and Hussanain Mir (Mir) as the 2025-2026 Executive Fellows in Association Leadership and Management. This highly regarded yearlong fellowship provides immersive, hands-on training under the guidance of ASHP executives, staff, and volunteer leaders, preparing participants for impactful careers in association leadership and management.
Grant is a fourth-year pharmacy student at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Services Administration from the University of Central Florida. She brings nearly a decade of healthcare experience, including roles in operations at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, pharmacy data management, and medical scribing.
Mir is an Advanced Standing Doctor of Pharmacy candidate at Nova Southeastern University. A UK-licensed consultant pharmacist with over a decade of experience, he is also a member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and holds a Master of Arts in Education.
“We are pleased to have Amanda and Mir join us as the 2025-2026 ASHP Executive Fellows,” said ASHP CEO Paul W. Abramowitz, PharmD, ScD (Hon), FASHP. “They were selected for this fellowship because of their deep interest in association management, commitment to leadership growth, volunteerism, and desire to advancing the profession. The entire ASHP team looks forward to mentoring them and supporting their growth as future leaders.”
The ASHP Executive Fellowship in Association Leadership and Management was established in 1968 (known as the ASHP Executive Residency until 2017) for those pursuing careers in association management. Graduates of the program have gone on to lead in associations, government, for-profit corporations, academia, philanthropy, and beyond.
Housed at the Joseph A. Oddis Global Headquarters of ASHP in Bethesda, Maryland, the program equips pharmacists with expertise in executive leadership, strategic planning, member engagement, and business operations, providing real-world experience that fosters professional growth.
Grant and Mir will begin their fellowship in July, taking on key projects and initiatives that will shape their leadership development and further ASHP’s mission.
