To this end, AIP negotiates with about 40 "partners and 5 wholesalers who provide goods and services to independent pharmacies at discounted prices. We have approximately 400 pharmacies that are members of AIP. In addition, AIP employs 3 Member Service Representatives (MSRs) who call on independent pharmacies on a regular basis. The MSRs are responsible for keeping the pharmacies up to date on new partners, public policy initiatives, and other issues of interest to the pharmacies. (2) We also have other, smaller academies that handle activities for special groups within our membership. This includes academies for clinical and health system pharmacists (492), employee pharmacists (392), and pharmacy technicians (418). (3) In addition to our academies, we have 12 regions in Georgia that have meetings twice a year. The purpose of our regions is to gather pharmacists across the state for networking, education, and public policy information. Meetings and Conferences: Our annual convention is the largest of these activities. It is an opportunity for members to connect, obtain continuing education, and learn about products and services available from pharmacy vendors. There were 293 attendees, which included pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy students. We offered approximately 26 continuing education sessions that provided up to approximately 30.75 CE hours. In addition, we honor those pharmacists who have done extraordinary work to advance the profession by giving out over 14 awards, including the Bowl of Hygeia, 50 Year Pharmacist recognition and President's Mate Award. Member Services: There are a number of ways by which we promote and enhance the profession of pharmacy and educate the public on the value of pharmaceutical services. We constantly communicate with our members to keep them apprised of developments in the field of pharmacy. (1) All members receive a copy of the Journal of the Georgia Pharmacy Association (4 issues/year), which helps keep them updated. (2) We send out press releases promoting pharmacy and pharmacists. (3) We educate our state legislators on what pharmacists do and encourage them to work towards increasing the scope of practice of Georgia pharmacists. (4) We provide educational meetings and activities for student pharmacists to encourage them to later become active members of the Association, and thus serve the profession. (5) We maintain an updated website with information about their profession. (6) We provide members with insurance benefits and purchase discounts. (7) We send out a daily newsletter, The Buzz, to over 3,789 recipients. 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 21 0 1 12 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X Phillip Arrington 4042315074 6065 Barfield Road NE Suite 100 Sandy Springs GA 30328 Mahlon Davidson Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Sinyard Immediate Past President 4.00 X 0 0 0 Izabela Welch Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Melanie DeFusco Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Holt Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Murry Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Sherrer Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bryce Allfrey Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Thurston Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Drew Miller Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Ed Holt President 4.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Coleman CEO 40.00 X 161010 0 11968 Ben Ross President-Elect 4.00 X 0 0 0 Mindy Kaplan VP of Finance 20.00 X 89796 0 0 Melissa Reybold VP of Public Policy 40.00 X 100000 0 5000 Jonathan Marquess VP of AIP 40.00 X 200000 0 19637 550806 0 36605 2 0 1 0 0 44300 51676 95976 Membership Dues 561499 1310318 1310318 Convention 561300 370138 370138 Program Sponsorships 561499 239145 239145 Continuing Education 561499 47533 47533 9056 9056 1976190 329400 329400 12238 12238 440060 317501 122559 122559 122559 Insurance Commissions 524298 197157 197157 Admin Fees 561000 82598 82598 Group Purch/Ptnr Inc 900099 45117 45117 7166 7166 332038 2868401 1976190 332038 464197 566261 552592 31114 74275 71803 21359 21000 40354 4483 69889 52525 122524 303901 6290 AIP Program Expenses 301603 Miscellaneous 63392 Government Affairs 56759 Income Taxes 40373 49434 2449931 357644 438127 76278 72924 71515 77550 166568 157393 14357 9175 11032401 12518204 5000 5000 360088 241614 11917283 13362594 70630 124457 144538 171307 408287 271230 623455 566994 X 11293828 12795600 11293828 12795600 11917283 13362594 418470 1083302 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 1305218 194242 194242 194242 9793 7788 2005 50561 43455 7106 106214 106150 64 9175 Lease Obligation 271230 271230 3911349 1083302 1083302 2828047 40354 40354 2868401 2409577 0 2409577 40354 40354 2449931 X X X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Marquess VP of AIP 200000 0 0 0 0 0 10050 0 9587 0 219637 0 0 0 Bob Coleman CEO 161010 0 0 0 0 0 6101 0 5867 0 172978 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The Association has members who have the rights to elect the governing body and approve revisions to the Bylaws and Constitution.
