WHEREAS the current name, Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists / Société canadienne des pharmaciens d'hôpitaux, has served the Society well since its beginnings almost 80 years ago, but no longer reflects the current membership, and

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Canadian Society of Healthcare-Systems Pharmacy / Société canadienne de pharmacie dans les réseaux de la santé be adopted by the members as the new name of the Society.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION #2: To amend the By-law to reflect the new name
WHEREAS the membership votes in favour of a new name,
