Board of Pharmacy

Board Meeting Overview

The board is required to meet at least three (3) times a year and may only meet if a quorum of the board (four members) is present.

Meetings are only available in person for board members and staff due to limited space however, consistent with the Open Meetings Act, all meetings are accessible through video/teleconference. Draft agendas with meeting information and public meeting packets are typically available 14 days prior to the scheduled meeting.
