Prior to assuming her role at AACP, she served as senior vice president for policy, planning and communications with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA).
Maine is a pharmacy graduate of Auburn University and received her doctorate at the University of Minnesota. She served on the faculty at the University of Minnesota where she practiced in the field of geriatrics and was an associate dean at the Samford University School of Pharmacy.
Maine has been active in leadership roles in and out of the profession. Prior to joining the APhA staff she served as speaker of the APhA House of Delegates and as an APhA trustee.

She has been honored with several prestigious awards, including the University of Minnesota Outstanding Alumnus Award, the Linwood Tice Friend of APhA-ASP Award, the Gloria Niemeyer Francke Leadership Mentor Award, and the Remington Honor Medal from the American Pharmacists Association.
After retiring from AACP, Maine continued serving as a board member for several nonprofit organizations and consults with a variety of entities. Her term for this time in her life is “preferment,” i.e., the time to do what she prefers to do when no longer working full-time!
