There's a committee for that
Surely by now you've heard that APC is recruiting committee members for 2023.
Our organization relies heavily on the work of committees to do research and make recommendations to the Board of Directors. We couldn’t do what we do without them.
When I first became involved with APC, I was asked to serve on a committee. I declined because I figured I didn’t have the time to spare. Well, the committee chair was persistent and eventually I accepted the opportunity.
I am so glad I did. And you know what? It didn’t take as much of my time as I expected. Most committees only need 2 to 4 hours per month. Of course, you can contribute more if you wish, but the basic commitment is minimal.
The list of committees that are open to members in 2023 are:
- Communications
- Education
- Federal Legislative
- Membership
- State Legislative
- Technician Services
All of APC's committees are important. The one that I—personally—want to see grow the most in 2023 is State Legislative. I would LOVE to have 52 members on this committee: one for each state and territory we represent. You would be our eyes and ears on the ground in your state to let us know of the regulatory concerns you face and enforcement action your boards of pharmacy are taking or threatening to take. Your service would be invaluable.
With 3,400 APC members, there is no reason we can’t fill every committee and even start sub-committees. Committee membership is a fantastic way for technicians and pharmacists to further engage with our profession through advocacy and action. It is also a rewarding experience and I highly recommend it.
Won’t you please join me in contributing a few hours each month towards making our profession stronger? See below for instructions on how to submit your committee application.
