3 WSPA TECHNICIAN ASSOCIATION 2014 HIGHLIGHTS Re-branding the Technician Academy After hearing your feedback, we are moving forward with renaming the Technician Academy to the Technician Association. Previously there had been some confusion with the term academy, some members and non-members thought our group existed for technicians in training programs. We hope to eliminate any confusion and spread the word that all WSPA technician members are included and invited to participate. WSPA TECHNICIAN ASSOCIATION Want to get involved? If you are interested in teaching a CE course to technician members at either Northwest Pharmacy Convention or Annual Meeting, please let us know, we would love to have you! Also, please help us spread the word about WSPA. As our technician membership increases we hope to create a broad network from all practice settings that can advocate for the advancement of our roles as technicians.
