CPhA’s Pharmacy Leadership Network (PLN) is an academy of individuals with leadership training through Leader Development Institute (LDI) who engage in continued leadership growth opportunities that enhance the profession of pharmacy.
In Fall of 2017, LDI graduates were invited to participate in a special workshop session to create a leadership program that tackles organizational challenges and provides an opportunity for past LDI graduates to continue to engage with each other and give back to their profession. In doing this, eleven participants worked together over the course of one weekend to create the Pharmacy Leadership Network.
CPhA’s Leader Development Institute is provided in partnership with the Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI). PLEI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing healthcare by improving the leadership capabilities of America’s pharmacists and student pharmacists. As a nationally active enterprise, PLEI strives to reach as many pharmacists as possible, to help them grow in their personal leadership skills, giving them examples of how to apply these skills in pharmacy settings (e.g., ambulatory, inpatient, long-term care, corporate, academia, government) and in their personal lives.
