The NACDS membership also includes pharmacy and consumer goods suppliers. NACDS Total Store Expo blends the trade show and senior-level conference formats into a powerful appointment-based show, including pharmacy, consumer goods, supply chain and logistics. This next-generation trade show enables strategic and tactical collaboration across functions within retailer and supplier partners.

NACDS applauds the enactment of the modernization of Iowa’s Pharmacy Practice Act (House File 555), legislation that will help ensure patient access to vital healthcare services provided by pharmacists and pharmacies across the state. Signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds, the law will implement a “standard of care” regulatory model and remove burdensome restrictions on pharmacy practice so that Iowans maintain ready access to pharmacists’ full training and education. Thank you, Gov. Reynolds, the Iowa Pharmacy Association, Sen. Jeff Edler, State Representative Michael Bergan, House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl, Speaker Pat Grassley, Rep. Jennifer Konfrst, Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver, Senate President Amy Sinclair, Senate Minority Leader Pam Jochum, and Rep. John Forbes for your important work. https://bit.ly/3WvRJYE
