KPhA Advocacy Efforts
KPhA represents the pharmacy profession in both Topeka and Washington DC. We continually monitor practice trends to alert members to critical changes and pending legislation so members can influence positive change and protect their profession.
- KPhA has two membership committees that are instrumental in our advocacy efforts:
- Our Government Affairs Committee recommends priorities and political positions to guide the board of directors
- The KPhA Political Action Committee is instrumental to support candidates that support pharmacy
- KPhA hosts
Advocacy Day at the Kansas Statehouse each February to acquaint association members with the legislative process, their House and Senate elected leaders, and government officials to discuss important pharmacy issues
- KPhA utilizes weekly emails and sometimes conference calls with its members and professional lobbyist to keep them up-to-date on legislation during the session
- In addition to legislators, KPhA works closely with the Kansas Board of Pharmacy, the KU School of Pharmacy and many other partners on issues of importance to you
