IPA and the Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin, along with Sanofi U.S., have agreed to underwrite all costs associated with the 2017 program for the selected participants. IPA, along with lead contributor McKesson Corporation, developed the Thomas R. Temple Leadership Endowment to endow the program into perpetuity.
