Grand Regent Eric Gupta, Grand Vice Regent Latha Radhakrishnan, and Past Grand Regent and Executive Director Johnny Porter gave welcoming speeches. The candidates for office were introduced and Brothers enjoyed the food and casino games available for the evening.

 Wednesday morning began with a continuing education program “Snakes and Spiders and Scorpions and Sea Creatures, Oh My! – A Review of Envenomations in the United States” given by Patrick Dougherty, PharmD, BCPS. Four enlightening workshops were available to Brothers following the CE:

 Workshop I: “Standing Out for the Right Reasons: Strategies and Secrets for Success in the Hunt for Residency and Post-Graduate Employment” Speakers: Adam Gregg PharmD, BCPS and Deanna L. McDanel PharmD, BCPS, BCACP.

 After the workshops, Grand Regent Eric Gupta held a province affairs board meeting with the province satraps. Wednesday afternoon was spent at Coors Field to watch the Denver Rockies defeat the Seattle Mariners 7-5. Grand Regent Eric Gupta, Grand Vice Regent Latha Radhakrishnan, Past Grand Regent and Executive Director Johnny Porter, and Editor of the Mask Cameron Van Dyke were recognized as representatives for the Fraternity prior to the baseball game on the field. The Graduate and Benefactor reception was held Wednesday evening in the courtyard outside of the hotel.

 On Thursday, Rebecca J. Fahrenbruch PharmD, BCOP presented a CE on “Comprehensive Pharmacist-Managed Oral Chemotherapy Monitoring, Education, and Adherence Program”. General Session I was called to order and the candidates for office gave their speeches. Past Grand Regent Lawrence “LB” Brown PharmD, PhD, FAPHA gave the keynote address, “To Infinity and Beyond”, to discuss the qualities of leadership. The memorial exercise was performed and the Beta Omega Brothers shared a presentation remembering Past Grand Regent Paul Hiller.

 The 10th biennial Scholarship and Awards Luncheon was Thursday afternoon. Many Brothers and chapters were recognized for their hard work over the 2014-15 academic year.

Following the luncheon, Brothers gathered outside of the hotel for a group photo before returning to the meeting room to start General Session II. The first legislative session was held and Officer Reports were given. Editor of the Mask Cameron Van Dyke gave a presentation entitled “The Mask: Understanding its importance and tips for submission”. Committee reports were available online and the committee chairs highlighted their reports. The day concluded with chapter sales, exhibit hall, and career roundtables.

 Candy Ng PharmD, BCPS presented Friday’s CE topic “Antipsychotics Use in the Hospitalized Patient – A Review for the General Pharmacy Practitioner”. General Session III began with a plenary session “Substance Abuse: It’s Our Problem”. Brother Ryan Gries, PharmD gave a moving testimonial regarding substance abuse and recovery. Sheila Botts, PharmD, FCCP, BCPP gave the expert testimonial. A review of the alcohol and substance abuse policy was given prior to the legislative hearing. Province reports were then given and general session II adjourned.

 While our guests were enjoying an afternoon tea at the Brown Palace Hotel, the first “Leaders and Legends in Kappa Psi” discussion panel was held.

 

The panel consisted of Past Grand Regents – Lawrence “LB” Brown, Norman Campbell, William Fitzpatrick, Brian Furbush, John Grossomanides, Anthony Palmeri, Johnny Porter, Brian Reisetter, Kenneth Roberts, Kali Weaver, and Patrick Wells – and Past Executive Directors – Donald Floriddia and Robert Magarian. The panel gave the Brothers insight on the past, present, and future of Kappa Psi. They showed us that Kappa Psi is truly for life. While the professional accomplishments of our Brothers are noteworthy, it was the emotional remembrances of Brothers who have joined the Grand Agora that demonstrated how much the Brotherhood has meant to our legends and leaders.

 

Following the discussion panel, province caucuses were held and the Foundation Poker Tournament, organized by James Wall (Gamma Nu), was played Friday evening. The winners of the tournament were 1st place Luke Weaver (Epsilon Sigma), 2nd place Austin Lam (Gamma Nu), and 3rd place Jarod Dainoviec (Zeta Beta). Through various fundraisers during the week, the Foundation received $9440 in donations.

 The CE topic “Review of Non-Sterile Compounding” was presented on Saturday by speaker Kirsten “Kasey” Tobbe PharmD. General Session IV was called to order and the final legislative session was held. During General Session V, the election of the 2015-2017 International Officers was held.

The 135th Alpha Chapter Anniversary Reception and Banquet was held Saturday night. Our newly elected officers were installed and Grand Ritualist Jason Milton untied the Golden Bow. After a week full of education, business, fellowship, and excitement, Brothers returned to their respective chapters to share how they reached new heights in Denver
