Join an MPA Committee or Task Force and make an impact on pharmacy in the state of Michigan, while networking and collaborating with peers.
MPA committee appointments are for one year. Beginning in 2010, MPA will convene Committee Days at the beginning of the year and in the fall, where each Committee will meet at the same place to do their Committee work and network with other pharmacy professionals from around the state. Some Committees will meet outside of Committee Day through conference call, webinar or at the MPA office. Committee members who attend Committee Days also have the opportunity to earn continuing education credit!
Member participation and voluntary leadership are essential in a dynamic and progressive organization like Michigan Pharmacists Association. Your involvement is encouraged and welcomed!
