     Please plan to join us for the Commonwealth Leadership Forum on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, VA. The Leadership Forum will take place immediately before the VSHP Fall Seminar, October 18-19  also at Kingsmill.  

    The purpose of the Forum is to:

    1. Create a core networking group among Virginia Pharmacy Directors and Leaders for the purposes of information sharing and gaining consensus on key issues
    2. Gain valuable insight on the role VSHP could play in advancing the practice of Pharmacy statewide and identify the value proposition for organizational leaders and their staff
    3. Provide Leader targeted/specific educational content designed to foster understanding of practice trends to better handle issues of the future
    4. Align VSHP with decision makers across the state in order to better leverage resources to create value for all

    The Virginia Society of Health System Pharmacists (VSHP) wants to be your Professional Home. Contemporary Pharmacy Practice Management is becoming increasingly challenging and we have an opportunity to unite and create a professional network that can help us advance practice in the Commonwealth. 

    You are invited to attend the VSHP Leaders' Forum held as we believe your contribution will be valuable. You may also bring one member of your team with you (can be a resident, formal or informal leader in any level of the profession). If you cannot attend, we would appreciate you considering allowing at least one member of your staff, in a leadership capacity, to attend.   VSHP will be covering all planned meal functions.  We ask that you be responsible for your own travel and lodging expenses.

    One of our VSHP members has submitted a petition to the BOP to reclassify Kratom as a Schedule I substance.  Public comments can be made here: https://townhall.virginia.gov/L/Comments.cfm?petitionid=409 and closes on 6/5/24 at midnight.

    Attached are our comments that we submitted to the BOP as well as the original petition itself. 

    We are asking you to comment via the link above to the BOP in support of the petition to reclassify kratom as a schedule I substance.  The Kratom lobby has rallied against this so we are trying to ensure our voices as health care professionals are not drowned out.
