Did you make a New Year’s resolution?
Whether you made a resolution or not, it’s a great time to think about your Spokane Pharmacy Association membership. Although memberships run for 12 months, many of us may have January as our renewal month. Have you received a renewal notice lately? If so, why not take 2 minutes, renew right now, and know that you are all set for 2023. In addition to offering accredited CE programs and exciting social events, being a member provides a lower rate on our 2023 Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet that’s coming up on Saturday, February 18th. You can find award nomination details, renew your membership, or purchase tickets to the banquet on our website.
We also want to welcome our 5 new board members: Connor Capdeville, Lee Roy Esposo, Bruce Langridge Jr., Alexa Powell, and Kayla Treharne.
And thank our outstanding outgoing board members: Alice Knotts, Alex Heyfetz, David Kim, Nicole Rodin, Sean Rourke, and John Griffith!
Without these incredible people, none of the wonderful things the Spokane Pharmacy Association provides would happen.
