Members and Friends of KPhA,
It is that time of year again; the voting, annual meeting, changes time of year!
With Summer coming to an end, we see an uptick in activity here at KPhA. Important decisions are made about our leadership and we enter into the final preparations for our biggest event of the year. I wanted to use this opportunity to remind you of a few important dates and let you know about a couple of changes here at the Association.
Voting for KPhA Leadership closes on August 31, 2017. So, as of today, there are only eight days left to vote. As part of this year’s election we are also asking that you review and vote on changes to the KPhA Bylaws. You can find all of the information you need and your ballots through this
