A Glance in the Looking Glass……
• What does your current organization look like?
• What are students and new pharmacists saying about you?
• Is there
– a NEED for change?– a DESIRE for change?
OR

The Trigger Point• Membership is or stagnant
• Membership is aging
• COPs / Grads
• Are your member numbers ?
• This should be a “no-brainer!”
• interest and number of residency programs
• Generational shift – change in philosophy re: organizations• Direct impact• Mentoring influence
• competition• Time• Other organizations

New Practitioners = Future
• Important to engage members early in their career• New practitioners are “finding” their home• State organizations are unique – a local connection• Capitalize on your “assets”• How do you do this?
![Page 7: The What and How of Attracting New Practitioners to Your Association Jill L. Haug, Pharm.D., M.B.A. Director, ASHP New Practitioners Forum.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e585503460f94b50941/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Philosophical Change
• Acknowledge that this will be difficult– Who wants to call themselves “stodgy”?
• Everything you do should be evaluated• Survey!
– Are your thoughts = NP thoughts?
• Are your “seasoned” leaders on board?• What are your concerns?
– Finances– Alienation of seasoned members– Setting precedents– “The Unknown”

“Enroll” or “Engage”
• Becoming a member is just the FIRST STEP– Why should a NP join your state affiliate? What’s in it for them?
• Engaging is the key – focus on “member experience”– Look at how you do “business” – adjust as necessary
• AVOID “parental syndrome”– Where can NPs fit in?
