The APhA Summer Leadership Institute is designed to help APhA-ASP
Chapter officers develop their leadership skills as they prepare to
guide their Chapters toward continued success. During a series of
interactive and educational sessions, attendees will be challenged to
identify their leadership style, discuss teamwork strategies, develop
communication skills, and receive updates on APhA-ASP activities. On
behalf of APhA and Procter & Gamble, we look forward to sharing the
APhA Summer Leadership Institute experience with all of this
year’s attendees.
REGISTRATION
All APhA-ASP Chapters and satellite campuses are invited to send one
chapter leader to attend the 2010 APhA Summer Leadership Institute,
however, an exception is made for schools that received their
charter at APhA2010. All APhA-ASP Regional Officers, APhA-ASP
Standing Committee Members and APhA-ASP/IPSF National Officers are
extended a separate invitation to the APhA Summer Leadership Institute
and do not count as your Chapter’s representative.
APhA offers free registration to all attendees. All meals, except
Saturday dinner, are provided. Attendees are responsible for their
transportation and the cost of hotel accommodations secured for the
meeting. Most APhA-ASP chapters provide funding for each attendee to
participate.

CHAPTER ADVISORS
All Chapter Advisors are invited to attend 2010 APhA

advisors have within the chapter and meet with the APhA staff. In
addition to attending the student programming there is an advisors
roundtable. Advisors use the same registration form and follow the
same hotel policies as all other registrants.
NEW! CAPITOL
HILL VISITS
Friday morning, July 16 is a great
opportunity for you to impact your profession and advocate for pharmacy
by conducting Hill Visits with your Members of Congress and/or their
staff. A face-to-face meeting with your Members of Congress and/or a key
member of their staff is one of the most valuable ways to establish a
relationship and effectively lobby your position. Members of Congress
and their staff know that the more time that you spend communicating
your message to them the more important the issue is to you. Moreover,
through these face-to-face discussions, you have a better opportunity to
influence their position and build rapport with the Member and/or their
staff. They don’t know your position unless they hear from you.
During SLI, you have the exciting opportunity to meet with your Members
of Congress and/or their staff in their Washington Offices. To prepare
you for your Hill Visits, APhA will provide you with tips, talking
points, and leave behind materials. APhA staff will also provide
two Hill Visit Briefing sessions for SLI attendees who choose to conduct
Hill Visits:
• Conference Call: Thursday, July 8, 2010 from 7:00pm-8:00pm
(EST). The conference call number is (888) 809-4012 and the
passcode is 4297575#.
• On-site: Friday, July 16, 2010 from 9:00am-10:00am (EST)
We strongly encourage you to attend both sessions, but we ask that
participants attend at least one session. To prepare, we have developed
several materials:
• Checklist
for Conducting Hill Visits at APhA’s SLI
• A
Hill Visit meeting request template letter for SLI participants
Lastly, once you have scheduled your visits, please RVSP
your appointment information for EACH participant who will be conducting
the Hill Visit.
If you have any questions or need any additional information on
conducting or scheduling Hill Visits, please contact Allison Wiley,
APhA’s Political Action Manager, at awiley@aphanet.org or at
202-429-7521.
