The slate of candidates is presented for discussion and approval to the MSHP Board of Directors at their November meeting. Ballots are distributed electronically in November or December to ASHP members in the State using contact information provided by ASHP. The Executive Vice President will convey names and contact information for the elected delegates to ASHP.
