Committees and working groups have long been a cornerstone of OPA’s governance, giving members a meaningful way to share their professional insights and help guide the Association’s priorities. These groups ensure that the Board of Directors stays aligned with strategic goals while keeping the voice of the profession at the center of every decision.
By joining, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with peers, expand your professional network, strengthen your leadership skills, and make a real impact on the direction of both the Association and the profession. Your input matters and together we can continue driving pharmacy forward.
