Message from the President Joan Fabbro
We will soon be joining our international colleagues in Montreal for the XIV International Symposium on Oncology Pharmacy Practice (ISOPP 2014). The program is highly educational and informative; I hope you are able to join us.
The CAPhO Annual General Meeting will take place at ISOPP 2014, on Wednesday, April 2nd from 17:00-17:45 in Le Grand Salon room right after the opening plenary. Plan to attend the AGM to participate in your Association. You will have the opportunity to win a complimentary registration for the CAPhO Conference 2015.
As I indicated in the December newsletter, the Executive has re-branded NOPS to be the CAPhO Conference. The planning has started for the 2015 event that will take place May 21-24 in St. John's, Newfoundland. The new name is not the only change; we will now be having our CAPhO Conference in the springtime, so make sure to save the date.
Spring has sprung in BC, and I hear that it is slowly but surely arriving in rest of the Canada as well!
Joan Fabbro
President
