In-Person and Virtual Regional Delegate Conferences April 26-29
The Regional Delegate Conferences (RDCs) start the weekend following this one! RDC registration closes Thursday, April 24. Get ready to roll up your sleeves with your delegate colleagues to review the policy recommendations being brought before the May virtual House and the June House of Delegates meetings. The most important documents you will need for the RDCs are available on the House of Delegates website. Please download or print the following documents:
The main purpose of the RDCs is to ensure that delegates have a thorough understanding of the policy recommendations coming to the House of Delegates. To promote that understanding, we’re asking all delegates attending the RDCs to introduce one or more policy recommendations. You should have received an email in the past two weeks about the policy recommendation(s) you’ll introduce. To help prepare for your introduction(s), ASHP provided talking points about every policy recommendation, and a brief recording of a policy recommendation presentation has been posted to ASHP Connect as an example to assist you. In addition, at the RDCs an ASHP staff member will introduce the first policy recommendation as a model.
Policy Recommendations on ASHP Connect
All policy recommendations under consideration by the House of Delegates are listed on the right side of the HOD Connect community home page for ease of access. ASHP Connect will be very active over the course of the RDCs, so be certain to monitor the postings regularly. Feedback from the various RDCs will be posted in real time.
Candidates for ASHP Offices
The slates of candidates for President-Elect, Board of Directors, and Treasurer will be presented at the RDCs and are available for your review now. The full report of the Committee on Nominations, including candidate biographies and statements, will be available on the ASHP website by mid-May.
Upcoming House of Delegates Meetings
May Virtual House. ASHP may conduct a virtual House May 9-15. I will provide more details as they become available soon after the RDCs conclude, so please mark your calendars and stay tuned.
June Meeting Attendance and Delegate Registration. Planning is underway to conduct the House of Delegates at the June 7-11 Pharmacy Futures 2025 meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. Delegates and alternates must register to attend the meeting and check in on site with delegate registration. Your participation as a delegate does not register you for the meeting. Please note the times of the following events. Attendance at these events is an expectation of delegate service.
First Delegate Caucus: June 8, 9:30–11:30 am
First Meeting of the House: June 8, 1–5 pm
Second Delegate Caucus: June 10, 12:15–2 pm

Please consult the Meetings-at-a-Glance for additional details regarding June House of Delegates events. The Open Forum for members and the Delegate Primer are highly recommended. I will share more information about the June House of Delegates in future emails.
Looking Forward to the RDCs!
ASHP Board members and staff look forward to working with you during the RDCs. Thank you again for your commitment to the ASHP policy process.
