Participation in the CAA Program is required for all APhA-ASP Chapters to maintain their charter. Full participation in the CAA Program offers tremendous learning opportunities for members and the opportunity for chapters and individuals to be showcased during the APhA-ASP Awards Ceremony at the APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition.
Chapters compete for 1 of 17 awards that actively promote the mission of APhA-ASP. Evaluation of chapter activities is based upon criteria such as originality of programs, number of chapter members involved, impact on the community, benefit to student pharmacists, and collaboration with other healthcare organizations. Chapters are also evaluated on their year-to-year progress, particularly in relation to chapter activities and membership retention.
