MPhA Committees

MPhA relies on the participation of volunteers in our committees to help drive success in our mission. A listing of our committees and a description of their purpose are listed below. Committee members must be members of the Association in good standing.

Social Media & Communications Committee
Chair: Maureen Judkins
The Communications Committee reviews all channels of communications to members (e.g. social media, website, printed material, e-newsletters) and assists staff in developing the content of member communications.

Program & Events Committee
Chair: Tiffany Bartke
The Program & Events Committee will assist in coordination of continuing education activities. Program Committee members will be asked to identify trending topics in the industry and needed areas for professional development in the pharmacy community, solicit speakers, and assist in marketing the program to colleagues and friends.

Ethics and Grievance Committee
The Ethics and Grievance Committee interprets and reviews the Code of Ethics of the Association and makes recommendations to the Board. When presented with allegations that a member has violated the obligations of the Bylaws or Code of Ethics of the Association, the Committee provides written notice of the charges against the member involved and provides the member with an opportunity for a fair hearing. The Committee promptly submits to the Board of Directors a written report of its finding of fact, recommendations and sanctions to be imposed (if any).
