A Note from the Executive Vice President:
At OSHP we are excited about the activities that will be
taking place this spring and through the summer up to the next Annual Meeting
in October.
The Spring Division Day on April 25th will feature over 100 attendees so that the division members can discuss their plans for 2025. We also encourage non-members to attend and see how OSHP works from the inside. One of the new topics we will be discussing is the formation of a Special Interest Group (SIG) for research pharmacists. We are also going to induct our new officers and board members for the first time at this division day rather than in the Summer. Sam Calabrese, VP for accreditation services, ASHP will attend to do this induction. Sam will also conduct a Town Hall on Residency-related issues. We will also have our first Technician Town Hall simultaneously. Of course, the day will be wrapped up with a Happy Hour at Derive Brewing Company.
In May, COSHP will host a Resident Research Forum for the first time.
Other big changes coming to OSHP is a change in association management companies. We formed a search committee and sent out RFPs for AMC proposals and decided to change companies to be more tailored to our local needs and decrease our costs. We will reveal more details once the contracts are all signed and official.
A very big change is the change in venue for the annual meeting. We are leaving the Greater Columbus Convention Center to the Chery Valley Hotel and Ohio Convention Center near Newark Ohio. Instead of being a small fish in a big pond at high cost we will be the only fish in a beautiful pond with a country lodge setting with free parking and much more reasonable costs. Because of this new venue we will be going back to having an awards dinner instead of lunch. This will allow us time to properly relax and recognize our honorees without rushing through at lunchtime. The Cherry Valley Hotel offers beautiful rooms at a discounted price to allow our attendees to enjoy the conference and also maximize networking. We will be testing out this venue for our Summer Retreat as well.
Another possible summer activity is a joint meeting in the Sandusky area between OPA and OSHP targeting members and non-members in the North Central area of the state. We hope to announce more details of this event shortly.
Our goal is to have something of value for all of our health-system pharmacists and technicians in Ohio and have fun in the process!
