Jerry Elliott joined Mead Johnson as a sales representative in 1963. He earned a promotion to headquarters and worked for 10 years in the marketing department. Jerry directed Mead Johnson’s Professional Services department from 1981 to 1989 and 1992 until his sudden and untimely death on June 2, 1994. Jerry had a tremendous impact in every area in which he worked. He was an avid supporter of perinatal research and the careers of young neonatologists. The Southeastern Association of Neonatologists has honored Jerry Elliott by creating a memorial lectureship in 1997, which is delivered at each annual meeting.
