APhA House of Delegates
Official APhA policy is developed and by the APhA House of Delegates. The House is comprised of delegates from states, APhA academies, affiliated organizations, recognized pharmacy organizations, and ex-officio delegates such as APhA Past Presidents and Past Speakers of the APhA House of Delegates. House sessions are presided over by the Speaker of the House of Delegates.
The APhA Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) seats its own House of Delegates to develop policy affecting student pharmacists. The APhA-ASP House is comprised of delegates from APhA-ASP chapters at each school/college of pharmacy.
Both Houses meet during APhA Annual Meeting and Exposition to vote on policy proposals developed throughout the year.
