A Job Well Done!

The June meetings of the ASHP House of Delegates continued in the House’s proud 75-year tradition. During the first meeting on Sunday, you collectively considered 18 policy recommendations and amended 14. On Tuesday you considered three new business items, approving two. Since March, the House has approved 28 policy positions and 2 statements. Overall, a job well done!

In celebration of delegates’ hard work over 75 years, ASHP has been sharing short interviews with some of your peers. I encourage you to take a look; you may see yourself in some of their reflections, motivations, and experiences as delegates. 

I would like to thank all delegates for your contributions to the policy development process and for your recommendations for further ASHP consideration. You should all be very proud of what you’ve accomplished. Further, you made my job as Chair of the House a lot of fun, and I enjoyed being able to meet with you in person again this year!

Getting the Message Out

Delegate service also includes helping to communicate the outcome of the ASHP policy process to your colleagues. The new policies, as approved by the House and the Board, are now available in several formats on the ASHP website. When possible, please review these new policies with your colleagues. We’ve prepared a set of slides (also available as a PDF) to use just for this purpose.

Looking Forward to the November Virtual House

In continuing our efforts to make the ASHP policy cycle more efficient, responsive, and engaging, ASHP will likely conduct another online meeting of the House of Delegates in November. If so, proposed professional policy language will be posted to the ASHP House of Delegates website and ASHP Connect no later than October, and voting will take place over the week of November 9-17.

Your Thoughts Are Always Welcomed...and Encouraged!

As always, I look forward to hearing from you should you have any thoughts you would like to share on the policy development process. Please reach out any time; I would love to hear from you. Thank you for your service as a delegate!
