Vital would like to share an important update regarding recent changes to our Board of Directors.

Dear Vital Members and Stakeholders,

Vital would like to share an important update regarding recent changes to our Board of Directors.
 
After many years of dedicated service, John Targett (Unipharm Wholesale Drugs Ltd.) has retired from CAPDM’s Board of Directors. John’s deep expertise and longstanding committee leadership were instrumental in advancing Vital’s operational and strategic priorities, and we thank him for his significant contributions throughout his tenure.
 
To ensure continuity, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Sammy Lee (Imperial Distributors Canada Inc.), who will serve the remainder of John Targett’s term. Sammy brings strong industry experience and valuable perspective, and we look forward to his contributions in this role.
 
In addition, Vital is pleased to announce the appointment of Manasi Kulkarni (McKesson Canada) to the role of Vice Chair of the Board. Manasi has been an active and valued member of the Board, and we are confident she will continue to support Vital's strategic priorities in this leadership role.
 
Please join us in thanking John for his service, and in welcoming Sammy and congratulating Manasi on their new roles.
 
We invite you to read about each Board Director and Observer here.
 
Sincerely,
Vital
