Mid-Term Board Meeting Update: What’s Ahead for Members
April 15, 2026
Your CSHP National Board recently met—and there’s lots to be proud of. From leadership updates to exciting new initiatives, here’s a snapshot of what’s happening and what’s ahead for members across Canada.
🌟 Leadership & Appointments
The Board welcomed several new leaders to ensure strong governance and editorial excellence:
- Nadine Grimm joins as Nova Scotia Branch Delegate through October 2028
- Mike LeBlanc will be presented to the membership at the AGM in the Fall to be the next President-Elect
- Heather Naylor, Sean Gorman, and Tammy Bungard are appointed Associate Editors for CJHP
Thank you to all who continue to serve and support our profession.
🧭 Strengthening Governance
The Board took part in a focused governance and bylaws learning session, reaffirming strong board culture while identifying opportunities to simplify and strengthen CSHP’s longterm sustainability.
💰 Financial Planning with an Eye to the Future
While CSHP is projecting a deficit this year—largely due to strategic investments like the CEO search and expanded professional practice support—the Board approved a forwardlooking budget that keeps reserves healthy and sets the organization on track to return to balance by FY2027/28.
💳 Membership & Fees
- AutoPay is on track for the 2026–27 renewal cycle, making membership easier than ever.
- National membership fees will increase to $415 in 2026–27—the first adjustment since 2021—reflecting inflation. Student and technician fees will remain unchanged.
🤝 Stronger Branch Connections
CSHP National is deepening collaboration through one-on-one branch meetings and continued rollout of the Microsoft 365 Branch Project, now underway or under consideration across multiple provinces.
🚀 Advancing Professional Practice
Exciting progress continues:
- The CAR T-Cell program launches in April
- Planning begins for an Opioid Stewardship credential
- A national advocacy town hall is coming
- A new task force will tackle challenges facing pharmacy residency programs
Thank you for being part of a thriving, forward-looking CSHP community—we’re excited about what’s ahead!
