Each day brought Coming out of Seminar, I’d like to thank the staff and committees who worked hard to plan and organize a great educational and networking event for our members. Seminar is the largest ASHP state-affiliate event, and San Diego provided a spectacular setting. The Seminar Planning Committee found a hilarious comedian-physician, Dr. Brad, as our opening keynote speaker. The CSHP Continuing Pharmacy Education Committee coordinated many great educational sessions. Most speakers were CSHP members who volunteered their time and shared their knowledge with the attendees. Our pharmacy technician, new practitioner and student groups tailored both educational and social events to make Seminar a great experience for their members as well. Volunteerism has always been at the core of CSHP’s culture, and this year was no exception. CSHP’s balance of volunteer commitment and staff expertise achieved a successful Seminar 2015. Thank you to each volunteer and staff member that contributed to making Seminar 2015 a great event for all! Our 2016 Committees, Councils, and Task Forces are being appointed by our incoming president, Kethen So. If you have ever considered volunteering for a committee, I highly recommend it. The experience is fulfilling and a great way to get involved in the pharmacy profession! o September/October 2015 California Journal of Health-System Pharmacy cjhp 137 Perspective minor triumphs and energy to tackle other tasks, forging ahead to bring all CSHP functions back on timeline. With time as our only enemy, CSHP is beginning to roll out new communication tools and additional information to help members excel in their professional lives. During this time, CSHP, through its CEO Search Committee, 2015 Corporate Members under the leadership of Alan Endo, conducted itself with due diligence in strategically assessing candidates to fill the vacant Diamond Bar CEO position. While the search continues, it will resume in early spring 2016. Meanwhile, other committees such as the Blue Ribbon Committee continued to work fearlessly to fulfill the charge given to them in July of 2015. Anyone not familiar with the governing documents of CSHP may have difficulties understanding why this work takes a long time, but when dealing with at least four sets of different documents, the review becomes problematics because of conflicts within the documents themselves. This committee, as well as the Board’s own Bylaws Committee have both been looking at CSHP governing documents closely to align all documents with CSHP’s purpose. The Blue Ribbon Committee and the Board’s Bylaws Committee are contemplating an early Spring meeting to see where joint recommendations for changes can be proposed to the membership.
