The John W. Webb Lecture Award recognizes a hospital or health-system pharmacy practitioner or educator who has distinguished herself or himself through extraordinary dedication to fostering excellence in pharmacy management.

This annual award was first established as the John W. Webb Visiting Professorship in Hospital Pharmacy by the Northeastern University College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, Boston, Massachusetts, in 1985.
John W. Webb received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1949 and his Master of Science degree in 1951 from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Mr. Webb served as Director of Pharmacy for Hartford Hospital and served on the faculty of the University of Connecticut. He returned to Massachusetts in 1956 when he accepted the position of Assistant Director of Pharmacy at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1959 Mr. Webb was promoted to Director of Pharmacy at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he remained until his retirement in 1983. Mr. Webb also served as Director of Graduate Program in Hospital Pharmacy at Northeastern University from its inception in 1964 until his retirement. Mr. Webb had a distinguished career in hospital pharmacy management, which included service on the ASHP Board of Directors.

In 2006, a memorandum of understanding between ASHP and Northeastern University transferred responsibility for the award to ASHP. The award recipient will deliver the lecture at the ASHP Conference for Leaders in Health-System Pharmacy and also will be invited by Northeastern University to participate in the traditional activities associated with the award as Visiting Professor in Hospital Pharmacy at the University. The ASHP Section of Pharmacy Practice Managers was bestowed the privilege of conducting the annual selection process in 2007. The Webb Lectures are published in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy.
