A truly inspirational night at the Drugstore News (DSN) Top Women in Health, Wellness & Beauty Awards, as the industry came together to celebrate the exceptional women who are shaping and changing the industry -- including 10 MPG rising stars and leaders. It was an especially meaningful night for MPG, given DSN’s tribute to our very own Rhonda Johnson, who passed earlier this year. Rhonda, a past “Top Women in Industry” award honoree who had such incredible impact in the industry, embodied the very essence of these awards -- combining outstanding business excellence with her strong caring and mentorship. As MPG Founder and Managing Partner Marc Greenberger told the audience, she will forever be remembered for the passion, loyalty, and commitment she brought to her clients and her team, and the long-time leadership she brought to the industry, most recently serving as Chair Emeritus of the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association and Executive Retail Advisory Board Member for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores. Yet, with all of her many accomplishments, Marc emphasized that Rhonda often pointed to her children, whom she adored, as her biggest success in life.
There is no doubt that Rhonda left behind a significant legacy. We are proud of the many talented MPG leaders who are now following in her footsteps, many of whom were also honored at this year’s DSN Top Women in Health, Wellness & Beauty ceremony. Recognized by their peers for their high-impact contributions to the business, they always go above and beyond to deliver strong results for our clients. Please join us in celebrating them, and all of this year’s honorees who are positively shaping the industry!
