Off and Running
 The President's Message
By Nicole Allcock, MSHP President
Saturday, July 10th was sunny and pleasant. Birds chirped as I backed out of the driveway, and clouds floated peacefully in the sky. It seemed as though this could have been a relaxing day. Soon, however, I met up with other MSHP leaders for our annual strategic planning retreat. The agenda was full. We placed our feet in the starting block, put our hands on the line, and by the end of the day, “Pow!” Off and running! July always seems like the beginning of the longest 100 meter dash anyone can imagine. A new strategic plan is in place. So much to accomplish, but everyone is ready to go! So, just where is MSHP running to? Here are some of the highlights.
Our strategic plan this year includes five major focus areas: organizational operations, advocacy, professional development, membership and financial stability. For many years MSHP has contracted with the Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists to provide executive management services. Our relationship with ICHP has subsequently grown into a strong professional friendship, and we appreciate the service that ICHP has provided us. However, our business relationship will be ending in June of 2011. This makes the upcoming year quite busy as we search for new executive management!
