A Look Forward to What's in Store for 2018 - Meet our Committee Chairs


IACP Executive Vice President Cynthia Blankenship, Esq.
A Message from Your Executive Vice President Cynthia Blankenship, Esq.

IACP thanks you for the incredible energy and the messages we've received from you on about last week's articles:  Monday's first installment, Tuesday's second installment and Wednesday's third installment of "A Look Back on Accomplishments and New Programs in 2017, a Look Forward to What's in Store for 2018 and a Visual Look Forward to 2018."  We're are excited to share more about what our amazing and dedicated Committee Chairs have to say out their programs and committees! 

As IACP's Executive Vice President (EVP) my commitment to  return IACP to a member-driven organization and to increase transparency remains strong. It is still incredibly vital to me that IACP hear directly from IACP Members what you need to succeed. As an organization, it also is critical that IACP be transparent, communicating clearly with you what programs we would be creating and implementing per your feedback.  In that transparency we wanted you to hear it directly from our Committee Chairs what they are excited about, why they got involved and what they have accomplished.

In today's conversation with you, I'm sharing our first of several Committee Chair testimonials on what I've discussed in the last two days' articles! As always, we want to continue receiving your feedback. Email us any time at [email protected], or call us at 281.933.8400.
A Look Forward to What's in Store for 2018 - A Visual Vision!

We've discussed A LOT in the last  EVP articles - first installment, second installment.

As a reminder as we hear from IACP Committee Chairs take a look at our Visual Vision below to really get a sense of what and when we want to achieve in 2018 and what they are excited about. It's a lot; but, we have a phenomenal IACP Board of Directors, Committees and Staff who are all excited to get this done for YOU, our IACP Members! 

Please email [email protected] if you have any questions, OR if you'd like to get more involved with IACP! We'd love your help in achieving these 2018 goals!



IACP is so pleased and thankful for our IACP Committee Chairs and members.

They have answered the call to help lead this organization by driving the committee agendas pursuant to the IACP Strategic Plan.

Our Committee Chairs put their hearts and souls into making IACP a
member-driven organization.  They are creative, passionate and outright amazing! 

We are going to be sharing our conversations with our Committee Chairs with you this week so you can see the energy, the passion and the drive they have. 

We hope they inspire you as much as they inspire us!


A Conversation with Jennifer Burch, IACP Vice President and Chair of the Education Committee

What have you enjoyed most about being chair?  Helping to shape the face of the educational programming IACP provides.

What were your biggest accomplishments in 2017? (Committee accomplishments) Choosing programming for successful Educational Conference. Feedback to date has been very positive. Assisting with planning the FIRST IACP President's Gala which was a success! 

What are you most excited about for 2018? Developing the webinar tracks so we have a template to use long term. Having more and more volunteers to help generate great ideas to advance compounding.

How much input do you feel your IACP Committee has? We have plenty of input. As the chair and a Board member we are asked to report on committee activities and asks. The Board actively listens to committee plans and needs. 

How valuable are the members of your IACP Committee? The members of this committee are very active, creative and connected members of the compounding community. Their input is incredibly important to make sure that we make good suggestions and programming choices. I am lucky to be surrounded by such great talent!

Why did you decide to get involved with IACP Committees? Well....I was asked to chair in the middle of a Board meeting-how can you say NO? Being a Board member I had been a committee member on a number of committees over the last 6 years. Committee work is what makes the organization strong and helps to set our direction.

What advice do you have for your fellow IACP members to become more involved with their Academy? Look at the committee list and find one that interests you. We all need to be active to keep this organization effective. We need fresh ideas and input!



A Conversation with Doug Yoch Chair of the Membership Committee

What have you enjoyed most about being chair?  I enjoy shaping the future of IACP.

What were your biggest accomplishments in 2017? (Committee accomplishments) Our biggest accomplishment of 2017 was the creation of a new membership category, the Executive Membership.  

IACP Note: keep yours eyes peeled!  More information coming soon on the Executive Membership. 

What are you most excited about for 2018? I am excited about gaining new members into our organization.

How much input do you feel your IACP Committee has? I feel like our committee really gets to shape what membership is going to look in the future.  Every committee member contributes ideas. 

How valuable are the members of your IACP Committee? We could not accomplish any of our objectives if not for the members of our committee.  Everyone plays a critical role in our committee's success.

Why did you decide to get involved with IACP Committees? I wanted to take an active role in growing and shaping our organization.

What advice do you have for your fellow IACP members to become more involved with their Academy? Find an area that interests you and jump right in.  "Many hands make light work," as the saying goes. As we gain more committee members, the more we can accomplish and the easier it is for us to succeed.




We heard your requests to update IACP events and implement new programs! In 2018, we are going to debut new programming at all IACP events!
  • Debuting New Programs and Events to Recognize Members: Your Education Committee, led by IACP President-elect Jennifer Burch, has worked diligently to choose speakers who address your specific content requests, and has implemented new programs recognizing IACP Members and IACP Corporate Members. We hope you enjoyed our new programs at January's Educational Conference! We were so pleased to recognize several IACP Members and Corporate Members during the January 2018 Educational Conference held in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
  • Creating New Events: We also created the inaugural President's Gala as a festive way to install our Board of Directors, and to recognize Committee Chairs. The President's Gala along with IACP Board Chair Baylor Rice's monthly member articles have been provided to help clarify IACP's fundraising efforts, and how the Academy applies your dues to achieve the activities and goals you've indicated are important.
