While membership dues are paid by the boards of pharmacy, it is the members and staff of the 54 active member boards that make NABP the successful, progressive Association it is today. As board of pharmacy members, your input is essential to addressing the many issues facing boards of pharmacy and the practice today. Participation in these activities is a rewarding way to assist in our shared mission to protect public health. 

Explore our opportunities to get involved with committees, task forces, meetings, and more. 

Committee and Task Forces

We offer a variety of committees and task forces charged with researching, reviewing, and addressing important industry topics: 

• Task Forces and Standing Committees: Single-issue task forces are established each year and often address topics from resolutions approved at the Annual Meeting. Additionally, the Committee on Constitution and Bylaws, Committee on Law Enforcement/Legislation, and Advisory Committee on Examinations meet annually.
  • Submit this online form to apply for a single-issue task force and/or standing committee. The NABP president-elect will make the appointments when he or she becomes NABP president following the Annual Meeting.

Presidential Initiative

In light of the positive impact pharmacists and pharmacies have had on patient health and safety during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, NABP President Reggie Dilliard’s 2022 Initiative looks to facilitate a new pharmacy practice model that enhances and promotes patient safety while exploring a supportive environment for pharmacy professionals. This project will begin with a comprehensive review of the current pharmacy regulatory environment, taking into account pharmacy education and other external factors that impact patient safety.

Each year, the NABP president spearheads an initiative to address one of the public health challenges the United States is facing. Read about the recent past initiatives that we continue to support.

• NABP Chairperson Caroline Juran’s 2021 Prescription Drug Importation Initiative supports the boards of pharmacy in educating and protecting the public about protecting the US drug supply chains.
• The 2020 Medication Treatment Initiative from former NABP President Timothy Fensky aims to promote pharmacist-provided medication treatment for patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder.
