2003 RR Fordyce Award, Pharmaceutical Marketing Research Industry’s Top Accolade, Presented To Howard Ziment, CEO of The Ziment Group.

New York, October 02, 2003: The Pharmaceutical Marketing Research Group (PMRG), presented Howard Ziment, Chief Executive Officer of The Ziment Group, with the industry’s highest accolade in the RR Fordyce Award. This prestigious honor was given to Ziment at a recent ceremony during the PMRG’s annual fall meeting in San Diego, CA, by PMRG President Andrew George.

The PMRG created The RR Fordyce Award to honor the memory of Richard "Dick" Fordyce, an industry leader, who throughout his career promoted the principles of excellence, innovation, and integrity in the pharmaceutical marketing research industry.

Nominations for the award are invited annually for an individual who embodies these principals, and for an individual who has had a major impact in the industry. Nominees are further required to have demonstrated an exemplary level of character, business ethics, and leadership including professional/personal behavior, ethical decision-making abilities, and mentoring/training of others.

The award recognized Ziment for his superior knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry and his use of innovative research techniques and methodologies to create new research paradigms. He is viewed as a leader in e-healthcare, and, as the founder of WebSurveyResearch, the owner of the “gold standard” in physician Internet panels in WebSurveyMD. The award also paid tribute to Ziment’s service and dedication to The Ziment Group and to his continued service and dedication to the PMRG over the past 15 years.

“I am deeply honored to receive this award,” said Ziment. “It is testimony to the continued hard work and dedication of each and every member of The Ziment Group. I am pleased to know what an impact our work has had on the industry. We strive to be a leader in what we do and it is gratifying to be recognized as such.”
