SECRETARY - Nancy Williams</b> <br /> 1. Membership Numbers - Currently there are 374 total members in OSHP, which is slightly up from 369 members last month. It's important to note that the current membership total does not include the new members that paid to attend the upcoming NPSG 3E Anticoagulation Workshop. Therefore, the total will increase by a few and will be included in the August data. <br /><br /> 2. Notifying Committee Chairs and Membership of 2008-09 Board Meeting Dates - It was suggested that Ben Welch and the committee chairs be emailed the schedule for the upcoming board meeting dates. Ben can post these dates on the OSHP website. Committee chairs, as well as all members, can attend the board meetings. Committee chairs can also submit agenda items and report on their committees. It was suggested that future board meeting agendas should include a section on "committee reports" to allow any committee chairs in attendance to report on their activity. <br /><br /> Another suggestion was made that the call for agenda items for the board meetings should be emailed about 1 ½ weeks before the meeting, and the agendas should then be emailed about 1 week before the meeting. This earlier timeline will better facilitate committee chair involvement. Committee chairs will be emailed the final agenda. <br /><br /> <b>B. TREASURER - Yvette Morrison </b> <br /> The Western District received a grant of $4000.00 from Fougera for financial support of the July meeting. It was also noted that Sanofi-Aventis will sponsor lunch for the participants of the NPSG 3E Anticoagulation Workshop. OSHP's taxes for 2007 are with the auditor, and we're waiting to hear about paperwork to be filed with the IRS. <br /><br /> The August board meeting will be a financial meeting. The proposed budget for 2009 will be reviewed. Yvette will try and email this out to board members before the August meeting. Another topic of discussion at this meeting includes student contributions. The Scholarship and Awards Committee Chair (Michele Splinter) will be invited. <br /><br /> <b>C. WESTERN DISTRICT - Jennifer Bird (via written report)</b> <br /> May 22, 2008 - Sanofi-Aventis (John Wally) <br /> Appropriate DVT/PE prophylaxis in hospitalized medical patients: review of pharmacologic options<br /> Thomas Campbell, Pharm.D., BCPS<br /> Associate Dean for Academic Affairs<br /> Lipscomb University COP<br /> Franklin, TX<br /> Crabtown, OKC<br /> 48 members in attendance<br /> -CE requested on 5/23/08. <br /><br /> June -No meeting due to summer month off. <br /><br /> July 29, 2008 - Fougera (Jeff Granz)<br /> An update in clinical toxicology including pediatric poisonings and envenomations<br /> William Banner, M.D., Ph.D.<br /> Medical Director<br /> OK Poison Control Center<br /> Tulsa, OK<br /> Mickey Mantle's Steakhouse, OKC<br /> 60 RSVP: 48 attended <br /> (RSVP maxed out quickly, and a waiting list was made.)<br /> -Original sponsor withdrew at the last minute.<br /> -Secured a grant for $4000 for the meeting.<br /> -Residents introduced.<br /> -Started suggestion box, but no suggestions made.<br /> -Used nametags. <br /><br /> August - No meeting.<br /> -Sponsor withdrew. <br /><br /> September - No meeting due to OSHP Fall Meeting. <br /><br /> October Sanofi-Aventis (john Wally)<br /> Ted's Café Escondido? <br /><br /> November - Have requested UPA sponsorship with ACPE credit.<br /> -Awaiting meeting date. <br /><br /> December - No meeting due to holidays. <br /><br /> In addition to the above meeting information, a discussion occurred about people RSVP'ing for meetings and not showing up as well as members not RSVP'ing by the deadline. The RSVP's for the recent July Western District meeting quickly maxed out, and a waiting list was started. However, 12 people who RSVP'ed did not show up. A suggestion was made to send an email notice to the OSHP membership reminding everyone about professionalism and RSVP's. Jennifer, Kari, and Lesley will work with Amy Williams to track attendance at the district meetings, particularly those members who RSVP and don't show up or those who come without an RSVP. <br /><br /> Although the pharmacy practice residents were recognized at the recent Western District Meeting, a suggestion was made to make this event a more formal ceremony. A future possibility may involve recognizing the residents and their preceptors at the Fall Meeting. Since Mark Gales coordinates the residency showcase, he may be able to help contact the programs for an invitation. <br /><br /> <b>D. EASTERN DISTRICT - Kari McCracken</b> <br /> June 24, 2008 - Sanofi-Aventis<br /> Atrial fibrillation<br /> Mark Durso, Pharm.D.<br /> Mahogany Prime Steakhouse, Tulsa<br /> 28 in attendance <br /><br /> July - No meeting held due to scheduling issues. <br /><br /> August 7, 2008 - Novartis (Elizabeth O'Brien)<br /> Managing hypertension through direct renin inhibition<br /> Mark Mills, Pharm.D., BCPS<br /> Polo Grill, Tulsa <br /><br /> Sept. 18, 2008 - Astra Zeneca<br /> Asthma: acute and maintenance therapy<br /> Jane Purser, M.D.<br /> Ti Amos, Tulsa<br /> -May lose sponsorship, so may not have a September meeting. <br /><br /> October - Pending <br /><br /> Nov. 11, 2008 - Sanofi-Aventis<br /> Stroke awareness and treatment<br /> Jennifer Whaley, Pharm.D.<br /> TBA <br /><br /> Nametags haven't been used yet at the Eastern District Meetings, but this will probably occur in the future. <br /><br /> <b>E. PAST-PRESIDENT - Susan Fugate</b> <br /> No report <br /><br /> <b>F. PRESIDENT-ELECT- Greg Clack</b> <br /> No report <br /><br /> <b>G. PRESIDENT - Lesley Maloney</b> <br /> No report <br /><br /> <b>OLD BUSINESS</b> <br /> None <br /><br /> <b>NEW BUSINESS</b> <br /> 1. Member Name Badges - Discussed the type of name badges for district meetings: one-time use "sticky" badges vs. reusable laminated badges. The latter badges would be given to members when joining OSHP; however, the concern was that members would probably forget to bring their badges to the district meetings. It was decided to continue using the one-time use nametags but to make them smaller. Using different colors for guests vs. members might help reduce the amount of information on the nametags, allowing them to be smaller. <br /><br /> 2. Member Database - OSHP needs a good tracking system/better database for membership information. This would also allow us to determine which members have served on previous committees or board positions. Access to online membership data would be permitted for members only. A suggestion was made to modify the membership renewal form to get pharmacist titles and areas of practice. Additionally, recent OSHP Presidents could provide the names of previous committee chairs and delegates during their tenure. Need to check with the new Communications Committee regarding an online membership database. <br /> 3. Board Liaison Committee Reports - Each board member presented a short report of the committees to which they are assigned as a liaison. Committees need to be updated on the OSHP website. <br /> <br /> <blockquote> a. Finance Committee (Yvette) - The committee members were contacted and are willing to serve, but none can attend the August financial board meeting.<br /> b. Program Committee (Lesley) - The Fall Meeting will be held at the OKC zoo and will provide 6 hours of CE.<br /> c. Newsletter Committee (Nancy) - The co-chairs will soon be emailing the committee members and trying to solicit their help with the newsletter. They are trying to get everyone on the committee involved and may even assign them tasks with each issue. The next newsletter will go out in late August.<br /> d. Legislative Committee (Kari) - No official report. Needs to contact all committee members and determine their expectations. Collaborative drug therapy is the "hot" topic.<br /> e. Membership Committee (Yvette) - No report.<br /> f. No report from the Nominations Committee and Scholarship & Awards Committee since their board liaisons weren't present (Greg and Jennifer). </blockquote> 4. NPSG 3E Anticoagulation Workshop - Will take place on August 6th at the County Line Annex in OKC. A family-style BBQ lunch will be served, which is being sponsored by Aventis. About 57 people have registered for the workshop. Will request CE for the meeting. There will probably be 7-8 tables with 8 attendees per table for the breakout sessions. A facilitator will be assigned to each table and will record the discussions for distribution later to the attendees. The agenda was discussed in detail, and the task force continued to meet after the board meeting concluded. <br /><br /> The next board meeting is scheduled for 8/21/08 at the University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy. This will primarily be a finance meeting. <br /><br /> With no further business, the Board adjourned at 4 pm. <br /><br /> Respectfully submitted by: <br /><br /> Nancy Toedter Williams<br /> Secretary, OSHP <br /><br /> </body> </html>
