IACP Members - We have a NEW EVP!
 
New Member-Driven Initiatives FOR YOU!

Cynthia Blankenship, Esq.
Thanks to everyone who could join our Town Hall, today! As  IACP President Baylor Rice, RPh, FIACP , announced - we are thrilled to have a new
Executive Vice President - Cynthia Blankenship! As many of you know - Cynthia brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as  IACP's Vice President of Government Affairs , stewarding a number of legislative initiatives over the last few years. 

She has capably continued her role as leader of the  Drug Quality & Security Act (DQSA) Coalition , which she was instrumental in developing.  This Coalition has evolved into an unprecedented alliance to ensure our members' interests and those of their patients continue to be heard on Capitol Hill. 

Prior to joining IACP, Cynthia started her career as senior counsel to the only pharmacist in Congress where she had the honor of working with many of you on pharmacy issues, appropriations, and budget.

What Does this News Mean for YOU

As Cynthia emphasized on today's call - as pleased as she is to become IACP's new EVP - she's absolutely more thrilled in what IACP has in store for YOU!

IACP is in the midst of reviewing & revitalizing ALL of our current programs. We want to ensure we're completely in tune with our membership, providing you with what you need!

We're looking at virtually everything and asking - does this truly serve our members? Are we providing information in a way that's timely, helpful and user friendly? And bottom-line - does it benefit you the member, your pharmacy, and your ability to serve your patients!

Keeping this Member-driven Mission in mind - here are some examples of our current initiatives:

* Engaging in ongoing Strategic Planning efforts to ensure IACP remains a strong member-driven organization for years to come. If you fail to plan - you plan to fail!

* Redesigning the IACP Public and Members-only Websites to make them more relevant to your practice and much more user-friendly.

* Strengthening our entire IACP Committee structure to involve more of you on our committees, and to make sure our committees have the tools to be truly outstanding.

* Revitalizing our Membership Survey efforts so that we are keeping in touch with you and regularly engaging your opinions. And, most importantly - communicating back to you the changes we're making based on your opinions.

* Sharing the ongoing efforts of IACP's Government Affairs team in a more timely, clear and concise manner - always with the message - what does this mean for your practice and your patients?

* Redesigning our August district recess packet to provide clear instructions on how to meet with Members of Congress over the August recess - look out for this soon!

* Increasing state legislative and regulatory updates through IACP's Compounders Stateside, posting weekly on our website, and direct emailing to IACP member states where breaking news is occurring.

* Launching and recruiting more pharmacy compounding advocates through our Partnership for Personalized Prescriptions (P3) effort - raising awareness, understanding and appreciation for compounded medications, and providing the tools for our advocates to quickly mobilize and take action on behalf of our patients.

* Strengthening our Corporate Partner relationships and programs - more effectively connecting their expertise to your pharmacies. Providing more webinars, more speaking opportunities, and more resources.

* Working more closely with State Pharmacists Associations, supporting and assisting them as they work tirelessly to help compounding pharmacists.

* Expanding our IACP membership base - offering incentives like our current membership drive - 25% off new memberships - to ensure IACP remains a thriving association, and to recruit and engage more of your colleagues.

* Pumping UP our Fundraising efforts so we can be a powerful and effective association for you! We have a lot more before us, with your help, we can keep the momentum going & continue to accomplish some big goals.
You'll be hearing from us. In the meantime, if you have any questions, don't ever hesitate to email or call us at iacpinfo@iacprx.org or 281.933.8400. IACP is here to represent you!

Thank You for Your Support and Continued Membership.

We're In It to Win It, FOR YOU.
