Welcome
Welcome to the 130th Annual NDPhA Convention in the Capitol City!
It is our pleasure to welcome all guests, students, faculty, honored guests, speakers,
sponsors, exhibit representatives, Pharmacy Technicians, and Pharmacists. The
convention committee in Bismarck hopes you will enjoy the outstanding programs and
events that are scheduled. A special thank you goes out to the committee for putting
together such a fine schedule of events. Thank you for your time and dedication.
This year, 2015, marks the 130th year of our association’s devotion to the Pharmacy
profession. Looking back, we can take great pride in the accomplishments of this
profession in meeting needs of the people of this state. Looking forward, there will be
many exciting and challenging things ahead. This profession in ND has a history of going
above and beyond the normal standards and will continue, with your support, to meet
the challenges ahead and excel in services provided. The educational programs and
exhibits are designed to help us continue to build our knowledge and extend our history of
outstanding patient care. Please take the time to thank those who have willingly supported
us through exhibits, meals and events, and those who have graciously dedicated their time
to present programs for this convention.
This past year was one for the history books. For the first time in the history of North
Dakota, the ownership law was put to the vote of the people. The people spoke in
convincing fashion, almost 60% in support of the current law and a No Vote on Measure
7. There were many arguments made from both sides, but in the end the people of
North Dakota continued to support the current law and what it means to them. There are
also historic challenges ahead. The increased use of Medication Therapy Management
(MTM), Provider Status, and preferred networks are just a few. The ABC’s of pharmacy
practice have provided true leadership in making pharmacy what it is in North Dakota.
This leadership will continue to provide strength and guidance in meeting the needs and
challenges that lie ahead. We can move forward proudly into the next era of pharmacy
practice knowing we have the right tools, education, and leadership to serve our patients
on the highest level every day.
Finally, please take the time to enjoy all this convention has to offer. There are many
educational and social events for you to take part in. It will be exciting to renew friendships,
make new acquaintances, and enjoy the time spent with everyone.
Again, welcome to the Capitol City and enjoy your time spent in this wonderful
community.

History of NDPhA
North Dakota
Pharmacy Association
The Dakota Pharmaceutical Association was organized August 3, 1885, in Fargo by
pharmacists concerned about the quality of pharmacy practice in the northern part of the
Dakota Territory. There were no licensure requirements for pharmacists and pharmacies and
the goal of the group was to organize to advance the profession by promoting standards
for pharmacists to meet. Following statehood the organization was recognized as the North
Dakota Pharmaceutical Association. The articles of incorporation were renewed in 1935. In
April 2004, at the annual convention, the members voted to change the association’s name
to the North Dakota Pharmacists Association.

Welcome
The North Dakota Society of Health System Pharmacists (NDSHP) welcomes
you to Bismarck, ND for the Annual ND Pharmacy Convention! We are thrilled
with our theme this year “Envision, Educate, Empower: Be an Element.”
Pharmacists across the state are coming together this weekend to discuss
advancement in pharmacy practice and ultimately improve the care of our
patients in this great state.
Thank you for joining us, and a special thanks to the committee in the
Bismarck area that have taken the time to plan this weekend. The continuing
education provided at this convention help us to define our theme. Ultimately,
improved patient safety and patient care!
The patients in our state are depending on us to provide the best care
in all walks of life. We have significant opportunities to work together as
pharmacists and technicians and provide this care to them.
Let’s keep the vision!

History of NDSHP
North Dakota Society of
Health-System Pharmacists
The North Dakota Society of Hospital Pharmacists began in the early 1960s under the
leadership of Sister Emanuel at St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck. This central and
western group of hospital pharmacists met separately from several of the eastern North
Dakota hospital pharmacists who were active in the MinnDak Association of Hospital
Pharmacists. Affiliation with the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP)
occurred in the mid 1980’s. The MinnDak group and the central/western ND Health System
group came together in 1989 as the North Dakota Society of Health System Pharmacists
and obtained affiliation with ASHP. NDSHP became re-affiliated with ASHP in 2014. Health
system pharmacy has continued to evolve and grow through the decades and health system
pharmacists are making significant interventions in the lives of ambulatory and hospitalized
patients throughout the state.

Welcome
On behalf of NAPT (Northland Association of Pharmacy Technicians) welcome
to the 130th NDPhA Annual Pharmacy Convention. There are several continuing
education sessions to attend, fun activities to enjoy, and banquet/awards planned
for everyone to take part in and a chance to visit with familiar faces and to meet new

Thank you to all convention committee members who have worked to make this a
successful weekend!
History of NAPT
Sharon Kupper
NAPT President
Northland Association of
Pharmacy Technicians
Under the direction of Pharmacist Al Schwindt, the first strategic planning meeting was held October
2, 1991. Goals were set including; creating an association to represent Pharmacy Technicians, petition
the ND Board of Pharmacy to recognize Pharmacy Technicians as part of the profession of pharmacy,
and working towards establishing an Executive Board, Constitution, & Bylaws. On January 15, 1992
the NAPT organization was created and held their first business meeting. Paving the way for Pharmacy
Technicians, the NAPT Executive Board has been a proactive group acting as a leader on behalf of
Pharmacy Technicians both on the state and national level. In January of 1992 NAPT became a chapter
of AAPT (American Association of Pharmacy Technicians) and has since been presented the Chapter of
the Year from AAPT several times.
A few milestones NAPT has been a part of include; the initial ND Registration requirement,
implementation of Continuing Education requirements, representing Pharmacy Technicians by forming
the Advisory Committee that meets annually with the ND BOP, hosting annual Fall Conferences, creating
awards to promote pharmacy technician’s continued work of excellence they demonstrate, becoming
an academy of NDPhA, reconfiguration of the ND BOP by adding a Pharmacy Technician as a full
voting member, a Pharmacy Technician becoming President of the ND BOP, and ND BOP certification
requirements. We have done our best to represent Pharmacy Technicians and their role in the Profession
of Pharmacy. All of this was accomplished through the leadership of NAPT on behalf of ND Pharmacy
Technicians.
