Abstract
|
The Argus Commission is comprised of the most recent five A ACP
past presidents. Originally, the Commission selected its own topics
for discussion. However, more recently the incoming AACP president
has requested Argus to examine issues of strategic interest
and value to the Association. This year (1994/95), AACP President
David A. Knapp requested the Commission to examine the
Association’s structure in the light of the major changes that are
affecting the health care system and pharmaceutical education and
the Association’s recent efforts to revise its strategic plan. The
Commission is sensitive to the issue that revising the organization’s
structure should follow, rather than precede, its strategic planning
effort; the Commission hopes that its discussions of AACP’s
existing structure may assist the members, delegates, and Board of
Directors in their strategic planning. Moreover, the Commission is
offering no recommendations at this time related to the
Association’s structure. We are offering a number of observations
and suggestions on which we will be asking for comment during the
1995 AACP Annual Meeting. As a result, the 1995-96 Commission
will be in a position to make specific recommendations about
AACP’s structure after the House of Delegates has discussed and
approved an updated strategic plan for the Association.
