KPhA and the GAC want you to know that we are always here as a resource to help you in any situation or to answer any questions you may have. We are here to help explain legislative issues if you are unsure or unaware of an issue that a legislator may ask you about, along with helping you coordinate a meeting with a legislator. Whatever the case may be, don't hesitate to contact us. The GAC appreciates any and all support. For questions related to the GAC or if you would like to suggest a legislative proposal/issue, please email info@ksrx.org or call 785.228.2327. | KPhA Day with the Legislature Every year, the GAC coordinates and hosts KPhA Day with the Legislature in Topeka.
