NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF GEORGIA DELEGATES TO THE ASHP HOUSE OF DELEGATES

All pharmacist ASHP members in Georgia are eligible to nominate, be nominated, and vote for delegates and alternates to represent Georgia at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) 2023 House of Delegates. 

Individuals wishing to nominate themselves or another ASHP member for the slate of candidates are invited to submit names by December 16, 2022, to: https://forms.gle/ReaqC93jYYrhRbMS6

Three (3) delegates and up to three (3) alternate delegates will be elected for a one (1) year term.

Duties of Delegates

The Chair of the House of Delegates will conduct a welcome webinar in late February or early March to provide new and returning delegates with an overview of service requirements before participating in the March 2023 virtual House of Delegates. The Chair also regularly communicates with delegates through email messages to alert delegates to upcoming action items.

Regional Delegate Conferences are scheduled April 29-May 2, 2023 and it is recommended that delegates attend one of these sessions.

The House of Delegates will meet on two separate occasions at the 2023 ASHP Summer Meetings, scheduled to be held June 10-14 in Baltimore, MD.     

Additional virtual House of Delegates may be held in May 2023 and November 2023 and/or at additional times, as deemed necessary.

Resources to Help Serve as a Delegate

Please review the ASHP House of Delegates webpage for more information on delegate responsibilities.

The three candidates receiving the most votes will become delegates, with the remainder being elected as alternates.  A simple majority is required for election.

Calling all pharmacists and students!

We welcome you to sign up for the GSHP mentoring program for the 2022-2023 year. 

For mentors: This is a great way to stay apprised of the up and coming generation of pharmacists, give back to the profession, and invest in others.

For mentees: This program is a great way to get involved in GSHP and begin to network with pharmacists across the state. Some may be your future employers or residency directors/preceptors. This is such a great opportunity to use the organization to your professional benefit.

Sign-up ends October 1st!

   

You will be contacted during October by a member of the GSHP Emerging Practitioners Development Committee with your assigned mentor/mentee pairing.
