TPA Chief Executive Officer Debbie Garza and President-Elect Mark Comfort attended the 2018 State Pharmacy Association Leadership Conference, presented by the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) and Pharmacists Mutual, May 6–8 in Kansas City, MO. The annual event brings together the CEOs/executive directors and presidents-elect from state pharmacy associations across the nation. This year’s program included an amazing panel of national pharmacy CEOs plus discussions about governance, financial management, public awareness, and a variety of other topics.
“This has been a great opportunity to meet the presidents-elect from other state associations,” Comfort said. “We are learning from each other and will be bringing back new ideas to help TPA grow!”
Among the attendees was Steve Anderson, CEO of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS). Anderson will be a featured speaker at the 2018 TPA Conference and Expo in The Woodlands, July 13–15.
“It’s a time of transformation for pharmacy and health care business models, and for the public policy and political arenas that shape them,” Garza said. “With patient care remaining the focus, Steve will discuss opportunities for pharmacy to enhance its role as the face of neighborhood health care, to continue to innovate, and to work together to anticipate and address future dynamics.”
