Board Staff Encouraged to Register for Virtual Training on NABP Programs, Services
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) will hold its annual Program Review and Training as a live remote event. This year, the training will be divided into 2 half days. On Monday, June 1, 2026, we will cover information on Exam Services and Accreditation and Inspection Programs from 9 AM – 1 PM CDT. On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, we will cover information on Communications, Licensure Programs, Government Affairs, and Professional Affairs from 9 AM – noon CDT.
Designed for new and veteran board of pharmacy staff at any experience level, this two-day training gives attendees a deeper understanding of NABP programs and services and how they can benefit day‐to‐day board operations. State boards can attend one or both days of the training or log on for the specific topic of their choice.

Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form
To further support compliance with the DSCSA and to ensure uniformity of state inspections of entities involved in pharmaceutical distribution, NABP, in collaboration with state regulators, is developing the Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form, a component of the Multistate Inspection Blueprint Program.
Multistate Inspection Blueprint Program Participation Benefits
Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form
Regulators who commit to using the Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form will participate in a collaborative process that facilitates the development and ongoing evaluation of the Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form. Because the Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form will incorporate a minimum set of observations agreed to by all program participants, it will establish a baseline for distribution inspection form content and ensure that inspection forms received from non-resident licensees participating in the program meet the receiving regulators’ minimum requirements.
Model Act
Program participants, in addition to developing and using the Distribution Inspection Blueprint Form, will play a role in shaping the distribution-related content found in The Model State Pharmacy and Model Rules of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (Model Act).
If interested in participating, your agency can submit the request for more information form. You can also contact Andrew Funk, Member Relations and Government Affairs Director, via email at afunk@nabp.pharmacy, and Neal Watson, Government Affairs Director, at nwatson@nabp.pharmacy.
DOJ Fact Sheet on Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps provided by State and Local Governments
The Department of Justice (DOJ) published a final rule updating its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This final rule has specific requirements to ensure that web content and mobile apps are accessible to people with disabilities. The rule applies to web content that state or local government provides or makes available, including any arrangements a state may have with a vendor to provide web content on its behalf. The following link contains a DOJ Fact Sheet with more information on the requirements.
Proposed Resolutions, 122nd NABP Annual Meeting, May 12-15, 2026, Boston, MA
Attached is a copy of the resolutions NABP has received since the 121st Annual Meeting through February 6, 2026. We hope that you will have the opportunity to discuss the resolutions with your board so as to assist your voting delegate during the consideration of the resolutions at the 122nd Annual Meeting in Boston, MA.
Although we encourage you to share these resolutions with your board members, we strongly ask that these resolutions not be released to the press or any third parties at this time. Please remember that the NABP Committee on Resolutions has not yet reviewed the resolutions. The resolutions are presented exactly as received by the NABP office. The resolutions do not represent any official position of the Association or position advocated by NABP. The language and subject matter contained in the resolutions are solely the product of the entities that submitted them.
As you may know, any active member board, district, or committee of the Association may submit resolutions. All resolutions submitted in writing to the Association at least 20 days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting (April 23, 2026) shall be presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration. Resolutions not presented within such time limitations may be presented to the NABP Executive Office via email (ExecOffice@nabp.pharmacy) up until the morning of the Committee on Resolutions meeting by 8 AM EDT on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, and will be considered for adoption by the Association upon the affirmative vote of three-fourths of those Association members present and constituting a quorum.
The Committee on Resolutions will meet on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. At that time, and with the consent of the submitter, changes may be made to ensure that the resolutions do not conflict with the purposes of NABP or create any adverse legal consequences. Each revised resolution will be presented to the membership for discussion and consideration during the 122nd Annual Meeting.
To help member boards of pharmacy, NABP recently released a video that describes the criteria for resolutions and the submission process. The video can be accessed on NABP’s YouTube channel.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact ExecOffice@nabp.pharmacy.
