President's Address: Exceptional Members
By SCSHP President Gene Lew

It is an honor for me to serve as the President of the Southern California Society of Health-System Pharmacists in 2009. I would like to thank our members for entrusting me with this responsibility. It is my goal to continue the tradition of being part of the BEST local chapter of the California Society of Health- System Pharmacists. The Southern California chapter is fortunate that it has exceptional members, like you. I hope that our members will continue to support our chapter by being active and renewing their memberships. We exist because of YOU. But we also need your participation in both implementation and attendance for successful programs. I am confident that this coming year there will be a program that will offer our members a full agenda of representation of current pharmacy issues and events. AB 418 is the California Pharmacy Technician Patient Safety and Protection Act, which is Spring 2009 Volume 17, Issue 1 being introduced to the State Assembly to establish a single licensure standard for pharmacy technician licensure. The impact of this bill, if passed, would be enormous because licensed pharmacy technicians are valuable partners in pharmacy practice and members of our organization. SCSHP will also be present at the CSHP Legislative Day in April in Sacramento. The purpose of Legislative Day is to meet with our elected officials to discuss pharmacy issues. We will continue to have monthly dinner CE programs. In addition to these programs, special CE programs are being planned, the details of which will be released as soon as they become available. A joint activity with the San Fernando Valley chapter is in the early planning stages, as well as a Saturday half-day education program. Some of my goals for SCSHP for this coming year are to become involved with activities such as Health Walks and Health Fairs, and Food Drives and Toy Drives.

Upcoming Special CE Events:

• May 19 - an event is planned at the new Meritage Hotel in
  Beverly Hills.
• June Special Program: Wine Tasting - a Temecula wine
  tasting event with the San Fernando Valley chapter.
