Retail Members
CACDS' retail members have a distinct advantage over their competitors. Through access to superior networking opportunities, retail members are able to build professional relationships with colleagues and other key executives, government representatives, and pharmacy stakeholders. Through timely and relevant communications, retail members are kept informed of the association's key priorities and alerted to all the opportunities and challenges facing the industry.
Together we can take pride in all that we have accomplished to promote community chain pharmacy as a key part of the health care system and a vital economic sector.
