HOPA's volunteer groups provide members with the opportunity to serve while also growing professionally. If you want to make an impact on the hematology/oncology pharmacy profession, build a strong network, gain collaborative experience, and add noteworthy work to your CV, there is likely a committee here for you.

Please visit the Volunteer Activity Center for more ad-hoc and micro-volunteering opportunities.

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.
