MISSOURI PHARMACY ASSOCIATION 2014 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Why participate as a sponsor? Sponsorship of the Missouri Pharmacy Association events plays an important role in the health care industry of Missouri. By sponsoring, you will be helping MPA to secure the best educational programming for our members and attendees, thus keeping the pharmacyindustry apprised of current practices and regulations. The benefits of sponsorship don’t stop there. By sponsoring MPA events, you and your company name will be in front of the decision makers of pharmacies all around Missouri. MPA events provide time for networking, and we encourage our sponsors to be present and active at these events. The 2014 MPA sponsorship options have been expanded. This year, one sponsorship amount will put you in front of pharmacists, technicians and pharmacy students for the entire year, not just a single event. In addition, many of our sponsorship options provide annual advertising and online recognition. This Prospectus includes details of MPA’s 2014 events and sponsorship opportunities. If you don’t see a sponsorship package that fits your needs, please contact Robyn Silvey at Robyn@ MORx.com or 573.636.7522 ext. 227.

Take advantage of this conference to build new business relationships and increase your company’s exposure through a variety of opportunities. Highlights include the Annual Gala, Honors Luncheon and much more! The education provided will include presentations from experts in various areas of the medical and pharmaceutical field from Missouri and around the country. Golf Tournament An additional activity at the Annual Convention is the Golf Tournament. Held Thursday afternoon of our Convention weekend, the tournament features an 18-Hole Scramble Tournament, a hole-in-one contest and an awards presentation at the end of the day.
Fall Pharmacy Nights Fall 2014 Meetings held at locations around the state The Fall Pharmacy Nights are the last chance the MPA has to update members on plans for the following year’s legislative agenda.
