CAPSI

What is Friends of CAPSI?

CAPSI strives to provide services, such as provision of tools and resources to students, at a cost that is affordable for students. However, in recent years maintaining affordable membership fees has become progressively more challenging. Increasing travel costs to hold face – to – face meetings of the National Council and a reduction in sponsorship dollars have placed a heavy burden on local level CAPSI representatives, who are now asked to raise much of their own funding in order to attend. A large percentage of this funding comes from out of pocket expenses or the local CAPSI chapter and local pharmacy student society. This is an issue of great concern as it threatens to hinder any further growth and development of the Association on a local and National level.

The Friends of CAPSI initiative strives to help support the National General Council members as they attend our bi-annual face – to – face meetings and contribute to the Association’s continued endeavors. Financial support will also alleviate many financial pressures from the local councils, allowing them to reallocate their funding to where it is needed most.

With support of $100, for every 10 Friend of CAPSI, CAPSI will be able to pay for travel and accommodations for one member of the National Council to attend one of our two face-to-face meetings.
