Lots of exciting things to share about recent chapter activities our chapter "activity tracker" is up and running. This is modeled after SCCM. You gain points based on involvement and participation for different activities within the chapter. Awards will be given once a year based on the highest point totals. Point totals do not overflow into the next year. We encourage all members to reach out and become involved.

The committee has been hard at work planning the Annual Scientific Symposium and Pharmacology Preconference. Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Paschal, president-elect for SCCM. There will be a variety of topics covering a wide range of issues pertinent to management of critically ill and injured. We look forward to welcoming you to the symposium at the Hilton Mrytle Beach.
Our monthly journal club is up and going with some very relevant and interesting topics. Our next Journal Club is scheduled for March 20th. Further information on topics and times along with the link will be arriving via connect and social media soon.

Had a successful "meet and greet" at Congress this year. A small snafu but everyone still had the opportunity to network while enjoying an adult beverage. The committee has been sending surveys to are new chapter members and receiving insightful data on how we can steer the chapter to meet the needs of its members. A new welcome letter has been developed that goes out to all new members discussing forms of communication, chapter activities and highlighting our committees.
