Message from the Board
By: SPA Executive Vice President Steven Webbenhurst
This time of year, I wake up and look at the thermometer. Do I need to wear jeans and a flannel shirt to go outside, or shorts and a t-shirt? Summer is a busy time for most of us. We try to pack 6 months worth of activities into about 100 days!
The board just met and planned out the balance of 2024 and beyond! We have lots to keep you busy as summer ends. We will start with an afternoon of trivia and beer up at Big Barn Brewery on Green Bluff on September 21st. It’s always a beautiful venue and fun day of trivia and great beer.
Tech Day is just around the corner after that, featuring 5-6 hours of CE for techs on Saturday, October 12th. Lots of great information and a convenient way to get those CE hours completed.
For both pharmacists and techs, we have multiple CEs planned as part of our 8 hours of free CE for members. Starting this fall, events will be available both in person and live online.
Later in the fall we plan another hatchet throwing event followed by pizza. It’s a lot of fun for the novice as well as the “expert”.
Our banquet committee is beginning to make plans for the annual awards banquet in the spring. Now is a great time to start thinking about who you want to nominate for our awards.
It’s also a great time to think about becoming a board member! Terms are for 2 years and start in January. What a great way to meet more people and give back to the pharmacy community.
Do you need a gift for someone in the pharmacy world? How about giving them a membership in the Spokane Pharmacy Association? And make sure your membership doesn’t lapse. Memberships are valid for 12 months.
Hope you have a great summer and hope to see you at one of our next events!
