Guidelines for Collaborating with Pharmaceutical Industry Relations/Partners
•Industry partners are a resource. The roles and FDA rules are designed to prevent commercial bias in education and to ensure that speaker engagements are not perceived as payoffs for prescribing.
•Know the rules: Your hospital may have policies around industry engagement, but your APHON chapter activities outside of your hospital are not subject to the same rules. Your institution and your APHON chapter are two separate entities.

Local Chapter Logos
APHON Branded Logos

Chapters may not use the logo on materials to imply an endorsement by APHON national.
Local Chapter Custom Logo Guidelines
Local chapters may create custom local chapter logos to assist chapters in branding themselves within their local community.
Starting a Local Chapter
Formation and maintenance of a Local Chapter has many advantages for APHON and its members. Local chapters provide ongoing peer support, numerous opportunities for networking, and the exchange of ideas and information through meetings, committees, correspondence, conferences, and publications. For more information, read the Getting Started Manual. The Local Chapter Manual is also a helpful resource.
The Local Chapter Committee is your direct communication link to APHON. Each chapter is assigned a committee liaison. The committee liaison is a valuable resource for you and your chapter. Committee liaisons can answer your questions, help you solve problems, listen, motivate, encourage, and communicate your opinions to APHON leadership.
If you are interested in forming a new chapter, please contact staff liaison.
