Janet Lathrop Named NCCPA Executive Director
The NCCPA announced today that Janet J. Lathrop, who has served as the organizations’ interim executive director since the position was vacated last October, has been named executive director.
Lathrop has overseen NCCPA operations as associate executive director since 1999. Earlier in her five-year tenure with NCCPA, Lathrop served as director of the certification services department, overseeing the CME logging, reregistration and exam administration areas.
The appointment is the result of a recommendation from the board’s executive director search task force, a group that started by developing a set of criteria for the next executive director and then looked for internal candidates.
"We knew we wanted someone with an understanding of the unique challenges that face a national certifying body and the ability to continually improve the way we do business. We wanted someone who will inspire the trust and respect of NCCPA’s stakeholders and who can effectively manage the organization’s resources," says search committee chairman and board member, Joseph Lagana, EdD. "It quickly became obvious that Janet is the perfect person for the job."
Echoes NCCPA President Katherine J. Adamson, PA-C, MMS, MA, "Janet has proven her commitment to NCCPA, and we feel she is the right person to represent the organization. She has done a phenomenal job running the day-to-day operations, and we expect NCCPA’s quality of service to continually improve under her direction."
Says Lathrop, "I am very excited to take on this new challenge. My focus at NCCPA has always been to provide the highest level of customer service, and I will work very hard to continue to raise the level of service we provide to the PAs we certify while addressing the needs of our other stakeholders."
