Pharmacy Professional Recovery Program Forum
Pursuant to a resolution that was passed by the member boards of pharmacy at the 120th NABP Annual Meeting, NABP is pleased to announce that the Association will convene a Pharmacy Professional Recovery Program Forum from July 15-16, 2025, at NABP Headquarters in Mount Prospect, Illinois.
Resolution number 120-3-24, Development of a National Forum for Pharmacy Professional Recovery Programs, calls for NABP to collaborate with other interested stakeholders to convene a forum of pharmacist recovery programs and/or other state recovery programs to discuss common topics of interest, issues, and concerns. The goal of the meeting is to establish a unified, evidence-based approach to pharmacist impairment that fosters recovery and return to practice.
NABP will be reaching out to representatives of all known state pharmacist recovery networks to invite them to participate in this important meeting. For those states where we do not know of a recovery program, we will be inviting the board of pharmacy’s executive officer to participate.
For more information, please contact Melissa Becker, NABP associate executive director, Professional Affairs, via email at mbecker@nabp.pharmacy or phone at 847/391-4487.
Proposed Resolutions – Correction
NABP would like to issue a correction to the attachment of the proposed resolutions memo included in the February 13, 2025, Electronic Mailbag. The District 8 resolution on MOUD has been corrected and is included in the attached document.
Attached you will find a copy of the resolutions that NABP has received since the 120th Annual Meeting through February 7, 2025. 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 121st Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
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 we received them at 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 24, 2025) 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 CDT on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, 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 13, 2025. 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 121st Annual Meeting.
