ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Jan. 29, 2026) –The National Community Pharmacists Association is unveiling a new program for state pharmacy associations that gives them access to the best policy and legal experts in the country to help advance pharmacy and patient-friendly legislation. The new NCPA State Panel of Experts features an array of demonstrated experts in today’s most relevant legislative, regulatory, and legal issues. “In addition to our federal and regulatory efforts, NCPA has also historically invested in state efforts to support independent pharmacy. We’re pleased to be adding this more formalized, free tool to support the work of our state colleagues.”The State Panel of Experts is a complimentary addition to the support already offered by NCPA’s state government affairs team. State associations may request assistance in this application-based program by completing a brief intake survey.
