The seminar will be held at the Texas A&M Health Science Building in Round Rock and check in will be on the second floor. Paypal registration links are below. Finally, mark your calendars for Wednesday November 9. TSHP lobbyist Brad Shields and TSHP President Sidney Phillips will be here to discuss the upcoming legislative session and how we can get involved. This will also be a CE meeting. I want to thank the AASHP members who have volunteered to work at the Volunteer Healthcare Clinic in July. Those members are: Julie Krapfel (two nights!! WOW!), Berni Patterson, Mitch Lestico, Thu Le and myself. Finally, I will be sending out a request soon for all our members to contribute to the Austin Area Society of Health System Pharmacists scholarship with the TSHP Research and Education Foundation. If all of our members contributed $25-$50, we could get the endowment up to the $30,000 needed to be able to offer a $1000 scholarship. AASHP will match all funds donated by our members up to $4,000. We need to raise $8,000. Here are words from our 2016 scholarship winner, Qasim Adil: "Growing up in a low-income family with 5 children, I wasn't expected to accomplish much or even go to college. For the first two years of my education, I was lucky enough to have access to federal and state funding which made paying for school a little bit easier. However, this year those funds have run out and I'm so grateful to TSHP for stepping in and helping me fill the gap! To me, being the recipient of this scholarship means being recognized for working to advance the profession of pharmacy and enhance patient care every day! Having these funds available frees me to allocate my time to volunteer activities and serving the underserved while reducing the stress that comes along with trying to fund my education." Officer Election ResultsWe are pleased to announce the results of the election of officers. Amy Jones will be our secretary/treasurer and Kathryn Merkel will be our president-elect. Julie Nelson, President and Kathryn Merkel, President Elect were installed into their respective offices on Sunday April 24 at the TSHP Annual Seminar Installation Luncheon along with many of the other local chapter officers.AASHP Bylaws and ConstitutionThe updated AASHP Bylaws have been posted, along with the AASHP constitution and previous bylaws. AASHP Constitution and Bylaws (2007) AASHP Scholarship Awarded / Request for DonationsWe are also pleased to announce that the AASHP scholarship was awarded by the TSHP Research and Education Foundation Scholarship Committee to Mohammad Adil of the University of Texas College of Pharmacy. Mohammad has served this past year as the student liaison to AASHP from the UT Student Society of Health System Pharmacists. Congratulations Mohammad Adil!!We will need to conduct a fund raising drive to get the AASHP scholarship with the TSHP Research and Education Foundation up to a $30,000 endowment. The market investments are not giving a high enough rate of return to provide a $1000 scholarship at the current endowment level. Therefore, the TSHP Research and Education Foundation Board of Directors has set the endowment level at $30,000. We are currently at $22,000 plus. Thank you for supporting AASHP!
