Committees

 

The Missouri Pharmacy Association is committed to excellence in the pharmacy profession. This is an important time for our members to step up and provide not only your knowledge but also your guidance to assist in maintaining what we have built in pharmacy and in the Missouri Pharmacy Association.


There are many new and creative opportunities for our profession. By participating in a committee, you will have the ability to guide the direction of the MPA, while becoming more involved and networking with your peers. There are several committees from which to choose based on your passion within our profession. If you don't have the time to serve on a committee, there are other ways to get involved and stay connected.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about the work of MPA, further develop your skills in leadership, and show your support and dedication to the future of pharmacy.
