KENNETH G. CHAPMAN AWARD
Kenneth G. Chapman was a significant contributor to many of the common policies and practices of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing including validation. He was instrumental in developing what has evolved into the quality systems approach to auditing and inspections, and also played a role in what later became QbD and design space concepts. Since his passing in 2006, IVT has presented an annual award in his name to honor his many significant contributions. This is the most prestigious award delivered annually by IVT and serve to highlight an exemplary professional who not only gives back to the industry, but also to the next generation of validation professionals.
This year this esteemed honor goes to Valarie King-Bailey.
