The College’s 2010 strategic plan (see http://www.accp.com/docs/about/ACCP_Strategic_Plan.pdf) is now entering its second year. At the October 2011 ACCP Board of Regents meeting, board members tracked the College’s progress in implementing the plan across the three major priority areas: developing, advancing, and positioning clinical pharmacists. Although it’s relatively early in the plan’s execution, the board noted that the objectives of the plan are being implemented on schedule. Because the College has now initiated a continuous strategic planning process, the board welcomes input on the plan itself and also on any new or “emerging” issues that members feel to be of importance to future clinical pharmacy practice, research, or education. Therefore, all ACCP members are invited to log-in to the ACCP electronic feedback site (http://www.accp.com/feedback/index.aspx?i=strategic) anytime, 24/7. After logging-in to the site, members can provide comment on (1) current components of the ACCP strategic plan, (2) new issues that ACCP leadership should consider now, and (3) emerging topics that may merit the College leadership’s thought and analysis in the future.

The Board of Regents reviews this input at its quarterly meetings and identifies issues that require further staff analysis, board discussion, and/or selection as forthcoming committee or task force initiatives. In addition to ACCP’s existing methods of gaining member input (e.g., the annual member survey requesting priority areas for future consideration, annual Town Hall Meetings, other calls for member comment on specific issues), it is hoped that this continuous planning process will increase opportunities for all members to provide input and feedback regarding the College’s direction. If you’ve not already done so, please read the ACCP Strategic Plan and visit the College’s feedback site whenever you wish to submit comments on the College’s direction.
