NCPA's 42nd Annual Conference on National Legislation and Government Affairs
May 10 - 12, 2010
Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC
"The government is now the pharmacist’s largest business partner—and a growing one in 2010. Engaging in the political process is vital to the future of your pharmacy and your profession."
...Bruce Roberts, RPh, NCPA Executive Vice President and CEO
NCPA’s 42nd Annual Conference on National Legislation and Government Affairs is the most empowering opportunity you’ll have this year to advocate for your profession, business, and patients. The need is critical in an atmosphere full of uncertainty and unresolved debate. Now that health care reforms are enacted into law, we face a long road to implementation of provisions like PBM transparency. The legislation created a variety of benefits, challenges and questions. Come to Washington to learn about and shape the road ahead.
The Legislative Conference schedule is condensed to make it easy to fly in on Monday morning and fly out on Wednesday afternoon. Here are some highlights:
- Monday, May 10—This 1 p.m. session includes grassroots training and issue briefs from CMS, NCPA, and Capitol Hill insiders. An exciting perspective at this conference is a panel of behind-thescenes professionals who handle our issues as Congressional Committee staff.
- Tuesday, May 11—The Sal D’Angelo PAC Breakfast (special guest speaker Tucker Carlson, news correspondent and commentator) is in the morning followed by Congressional speakers. The popular Congressional Reception is held in the evening on Capitol Hill.
- Wednesday, May 12—Rally early on Capitol Hill with speeches from pharmacy champions before delivering the community pharmacy message in meetings with your elected officials.
Attending the NCPA Legislative Conference is vital to your business. We are operating in a critical time for independent community pharmacy. New challenges emerge every day and we need your involvement! Your elected officials need to know just how important pharmacy is in the health care equation. This meeting is your opportunity to show pharmacy’s clout and discuss issues that matter most to you and your patients.
