House of Delegates

Here's a chance to have your say about ASHP activities and other related matters. The House of Delegates, the major policy-making body of ASHP, will convene at the Summer Meeting from June 13 through June 16. You are invited to share your views on policy proposals and comment on emerging issues at an Open Forum for members on Saturday.

About the House of Delegates

The House of Delegates is the ultimate authority over ASHP professional policies, which express the Society’s stance on important issues related to health-system pharmacy practice and medication use in society. The House of Delegates meets annually at the ASHP Summer Meeting, where it reviews policy proposals that have been approved by the Board of Directors; most professional policies are initially drafted by ASHP councils or the executive committees of sections and forums. The Chair of the House of Delegates is Teresa J. Hudson (hudsonteresaj@uams.edu).
