IPA Board Meeting & Orientation
On Wednesday, May 15, the Indiana Pharmacy Association's new Board of Directors met for the first time for the first meeting and orientation. We would like to thank Carol Ben-Davies for leading a strength-based activity during the first half of the meeting. Darren Covington presented an orientation to the new board and IPA's President Chelsea Baker then led the discussion about the goals of the new board and ideas for the upcoming year.
