"It will be fitting to recognize Len among his friends and colleagues at the Pharmacy & Technology Conference. We have a few fitting and much-deserved surprises planned for him," Anderson said. DeMino joined the NACDS staff as vice president, pharmacy affairs, in June 1989 and retired from his staff position in September 1996. He has served as a consultant to NACDS since October 1996.

He also served as a member of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy and was active in the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
