The Purpose of HOPA Volunteer Groups

Our member volunteers help us achieve our strategic goals and put within reach our vision that, someday, everyone undergoing cancer treatment will have an oncology pharmacist as an integral member of their care team. HOPA volunteer groups are comprised of councils and committees, and may include advisory groups and/or time-limited task forces.

HOPA Councils

The purpose of HOPA’s Councils is to support and guide work being done within the organization’s strategic pillars of Education, Professional Practice, Research & Quality, and Advocacy & Awareness. The majority of our volunteer positions ladder directly up to one of those pillars; all of them help complete our governance structure.

Please note: Due to the collaborative nature of the Patient Education Sheets project, advisory group members will be required to meet tight turnaround times. Members will be asked to complete sheet reviews within four days of assignment.
