IPA would like to thank all candidates for running and demonstrating their willingness to serve the profession in this capacity!

The Board of Trustees is the executive branch of the association and consists of eighteen pharmacists, one pharmacy technician, and two pharmacy students from diverse practice settings throughout the state. Each year, candidates are chosen by a nominations committee to succeed those trustees who will complete their terms. IPA members then elect new trustees by electronic ballot. Those elected to the board are installed at the association's Annual Meeting. Trustees serve a 2-year term, and officers serve 3-year terms.
