SCSS Committees and Working Groups
These committees are responsible for: determining the election slate; developing educational materials for the advanced clinical practitioners; and planning educational sessions at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting for the Section.
Working Groups are specialized volunteer bodies within ASHP sections that develop resources, address practice challenges, and guide strategic goals for specific pharmacy areas.
Nominations Committee
The Nominations Committee is responsible for determining the election slate each spring for the new members of the Section's Executive Committee. These members will evaluate eligible candidates for the Section Leadership roles of Chair-Elect and Director-at-Large Elect and slate the most qualified candidates for the Section Election and primarily conduct its business through electronic mail and/or conference calls.
Educational Steering Committee
The SCSS Educational Steering Committee is charged with identifying and developing educational resources and experiences that meet the needs of the Section members. These activities include prioritizing clinical and leadership areas of need and creating content in the form of programming for ASHP national meetings, webinars, and other forms of engagement to meet those needs. For those submitting proposals for ASHP meetings, they will identify experts that can most effectively deliver information on the prioritized topics, including those able and willing to serve as program chairs (PC) for topics. Committee members will be required to complete a Disclosure of Financial Relationships Form prior to their involvement in planning educational activities.
