CPS named as the Colorado Society of Association Executives (CSAE) Association of the Year! See below for the summary of the award. This is quite an amazing honor we are proud to receive from CSAE! CEO Emily Zadvorny and then-President Sara Wettergreen attended the Award ceremony at the CSAE Annual Meeting in June. The Colorado Pharmacists Society is recognized for exceptional leadership, measurable impact, and powerful advocacy on behalf of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, student pharmacists, and the patients they serve. As a small but highly effective association, CPS has demonstrated how strategic focus, strong governance, and mission-driven leadership can create significant results. Under the leadership of CEO Emily Zadvorny, CPS has advanced important policy and practice initiatives involving pharmacy benefit manager reform, vaccination access, prescribing authority, reimbursement, and modernization of pharmacy practice. Its work is helping pharmacists remain accessible frontline healthcare providers, particularly in rural, frontier, and underserved communities. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) Board of Directors Pharmacy Champion Award recognizes leadership in advocacy and public policy that contributes to significant improvements in patient care, drug safety, medication-use outcomes, and advances the vital roles pharmacists play as patient care providers. Colorado Pharmacists Society won the award for leading the coalition involved in the passage of H.B. 21-1275, Medicaid Reimbursement for Services by Pharmacists"A coalition of pharmacy and healthcare professionals led by the Colorado Pharmacists Society worked closely with state legislators to secure passage of legislation that requires Medicaid to reimburse pharmacists for clinical services under the medical benefit, including the provision of advanced clinical services under collaborative practice agreements or statewide protocols. This group of dedicated pharmacy and healthcare leaders executed a concerted, highly organized, and effective effort to improve patient access to primary care and add to the growing list of states expanding patient access to pharmacists’ services." — Kate Traynor
