BOARD REPORTS:

A. SECRETARY
1. Unable to provide membership status report at this meeting, but will have it available for the next meeting.
2. The Board of Directors listing is being revised and updated. The final listing will be provided to board members at the next meeting.

B. TREASURER
1. The reports will be sent out electronically. Unable to provide year-to-date reports due to technical issues with Quicken Program.
2. Annual Meeting Update - Ninety-three members attended the 2010 Annual Meeting. Of these only 74 members actually paid for the registration. The other 19 were speakers and guests. Six vendors participated in the Vendor Showcase. There was no grant support.
3. For the future meetings, we should verify in advance who gets full compensation which will help the budget planning and overall costs. Since the Annual Meeting has been the most expensive meeting due to printing Annual Reports and handouts, board will consider making reports available electronically.

OLD BUSINESS
None

NEW BUSINESS
1. Strategic Planning Retreat – The retreat is scheduled for July 20th, 2010, at St. Anthony Hospital. Beverly Black, our ASHP Affiliate will be facilitating the retreat.
2. ACPE CE provider for Fall and Annual meetings – In recent years, OU has been the primary provider for the Continuing Education. This has worked really well since Sandy Warner is local and she is always present at the meetings. The Board approved OU as the CE provider for 2010-2011. The Board also discussed extending the offer to SWOSU for future meetings to rotate between OU and SWOSU, as done in the past.
3. Fall meeting date – The meeting will be on October 8th, 2010. Potential location is St. John’s Hospital in Tulsa. There was some concern with the residency showcase and the attendance since a majority of pharmacy students are in Oklahoma City area. The Program Committee will also be checking into locations in Stillwater as a more central location.
4. E-mail issues with OSHP WD members – Peter reported that some members are not receiving e-mail announcements. Recommendations were made from the board to have an updated membership list at the WD or ED meetings. This could also be done quarterly to make sure our list is updated.
5. Northwestern Mutual Financial Planner – Peter had received an e-mail from this company with an interest in the membership participation. This might be a good option for the company if they are willing to sponsor a WD and/or ED meeting. This might also be good for our graduating students and their future financial planning. Peter may contact Northwestern Mutual and discuss the options.
6. Disney Healthcare Program – An e-mail invitation to attend a one day local workshop was sent to the Board. The Board did not feel like this is applicable to us as a state organization.
7. State pharmacy phone tree – Is there a pharmacy phone or communication tree in Oklahoma for sharing information? Tabled until further information is available.

President Church will send a doodle calendar to determine the date for the June Board Meeting.

With no further business, the Board adjourned at 4:05pm.
