On the Lookout for Leadership!
The ICHP Nominations Committee wants to hear from you!
Every year ICHP elects new members to its Board of Directors. As existing officers complete their terms, they often move into other leadership positions within ICHP. That means we are always on the lookout for more pharmacy professionals to step into leadership roles within the organization.
This year is no exception. If you have been wanting to get more involved with ICHP, now’s your chance! With Lara Ellinger-Fetzer completing her term as Immediate Past President and several other offices up for election, there are several positions that will need candidates. Below is a list of the offices open for election in the Fall of 2026.
All the elected candidates will take office at the 2027 Annual Meeting except for the President-elect, who assumes office immediately. Each new leader will have almost a year to train for their new job and be coached by our current Board Members and ICHP Staff. You do not have to run that race unprepared! Position descriptions for each office may be found on the ICHP website at:
