Following statehood, the organization was recognized as the North Dakota Pharmaceutical Association. The articles of incorporation were renewed in 1935. The association’s mission is to represent pharmacists and technicians as health care providers promoting the safe, rational and cost-effective use of pharmaceuticals and medical devices through the provision of pharmaceutical care.
The convention is centered around providing continuing education for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and recognizing those who have displayed outstanding performance in the profession.
