OPA Announces New Member Benefits

MEMBERS-ONLY SECTION ON OPA WEB
The OPA website, www.ohiopharmacists.org, is recognized nationally as one of the top state pharmacy association sites in the country. With an average of over 5000 hits per day, your site is a powerful information resource. We are pleased to introduce a new member benefit that utilizes OPA’s secure web based technology! This new “Members Only” feature provides sophisticated online registration capabilities and will also allow OPA members to:
  • modify account/address information
  • register for upcoming events
  • view continuing education credits earned
  • view payment history
  • view registration history
  • view Members Only News.


No need to wait to know your CE or invoice payment histories. They are now available online 24/7! No more waiting for meeting confirmation letters to arrive by mail as another feature includes registration confirmation letters provided instantly via email.

For your convenience, a new password protected, Members Only button has been added to the OPA website. All members with an active email address on file have received an important email with a temporary login/password and a link to access this part of the website. Once you’ve logged into the system, you’ll need to establish a unique password that’s easier for you to remember. You might want to review and update your membership profile information accordingly. In order to access this benefit, we MUST HAVE YOUR CURRENT EMAIL ADDRESS IN OUR SYSTEM. A quick way to verify whether your email address is in the system, is to check the dues invoice you received at the end of August. If your email is in the system, it will appear on your dues invoice. To provide your email information online, $$LinkToForm40,5.

WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK ON USING THIS NEW SYSTEM. Should you have any comments, questions or concerns, please contact me at kwotruba@ohiopharmacists.org.

DISABILITY INSURANCE PREMIUM DISCOUNTS
OPA is pleased to announce another new member benefit. As a result of OPA’s endorsement of the products and services offered through The Pharmacists Mutual Companies, our members will be entitled to an Association discount of 10 percent off the premium of an individual disability income policy issued through the Principal Life Insurance Company. In addition, pharmacists have been placed in a select occupation class by Principal and will receive an additional 10 percent discount. The new disability policy also has a special mental/nervous substance abuse rider and the good news is this can also generate another 10 percent discount.

30% discount for OPA members...that's a great member benefit!

Disability insurance is a product to protect your most important asset -- your ability to earn an income. Contact Pharmacists Mutual representative Bruce Wyke at 800.247.5930 ext. 7129 or Gail Wolfe at 800.247.5930 ext. 7216 to find out more about this important coverage and how you, as an Association member, can save up to 30 percent on your disability income protection plan.
