Message From the President Spring is upon us! As the weather starts to heat up, so do the events that our chapter will be hosting. I really hope you will take the time from your busy schedule to join us in our educational dinners, CE events, social events, or even our monthly board meetings. A few times per year the CSHP Affiliate Chapter Presidents assemble in Sacramento for a strategic planning meeting. I had the opportunity to go visit the CSHP headquarters in February and will be going again in May. It truly was a pleasure to meet with the other chapter presidents and to share our successes and challenges. In regards to our South Bay / Long Beach chapter, one aspect that other chapter presidents asked me about was our ability to attract new practitioners. As you may have noticed, we undoubtedly have one of the youngest chapters but at the same time we have a faithful following of motivated and spirited seasoned pharmacists. I think the diversity of age and experience makes our chapter so attractive to residents, new practitioners, and seasoned pharmacists alike. (continued on the next page)
