Lockwood is taking the place of Ann Johnson, ASAP content manager, who will leave her position after September's ASAP BioPharma Conference.

"Jan's commitment and programming were exceptional, and we are glad she will continue with ASAP in other roles. We're thrilled to have Becky available to take on the responsibilities for this position," said ASAP CEO Mike Leonetti, CSAP. "The learning curve will be short since Becky is intimately familiar with ASAP, the profession, and our programming based on her chapter work. Please join me in offering your support and best wishes to Becky.
