December 1, 2020 Virtual Meeting
Antitrust StatementThe Joint Commission of Pharmacy Practitioners (JCPP) complies with all Federal and State Antitrust laws, rules and
regulations. Therefore:
1) These policies and procedures apply to all membership, board, committee and other meetings of JCPP, and all meetings
attended by representatives of JCPP.
2) Meetings will follow a formal, pre-approved agenda which will be provided to each attendee. Participants at meetings
should adhere strictly to the agenda. Subjects not included on the agenda should generally not be considered at the meeting.
3) The agenda will be specific and will prohibit discussions or recommendations regarding topics that may cause antitrust
problems, such as prices or price levels. In addition, no discussion is permitted of any elements of a company's operations which
might influence price such as:
a) Cost of operations, supplies, labor or services;
b) Allowance for discounts;
c) Terms of sale including credit arrangements; and,
d) Profit margins and mark ups, provided this limitation shall not extend to discussions of methods of operation, maintenance, and
similar matters in which cost or efficiency is merely incidental.
4) It is a violation of Antitrust laws to agree not to compete, therefore, discussions of division of territories or customers or
limitations on the nature of business carried on or products sold are not permitted.
5) Boycotts in any form are unlawful. Discussion relating to boycotts is prohibited, including discussions about blacklisting or
unfavorable reports about particular companies including their financial situation.
6) Where there is a potential for discussion of legally sensitive subjects, legal counsel may attend the meeting. Whenever
discussion borders on an area of antitrust sensitivity, JCPP members and/or representatives should request that the discussion be stopped and
ask that the request be made a part of the minutes of the meeting being attended. If others continue such discussion, the JCPP members and/or
representatives should excuse themselves from the meeting and request that the minutes show that the representative(s) left the meeting at
that point and why the representative(s) left. Any such instances should be reported immediately to the JCPP Secretary.
7) All meeting summaries should be kept that accurately report what actions, if any, were taken.
8) Unscheduled, informal, or secret meetings related to the above activities held in conjunction with the regular meetings should be
avoided. These meetings jeopardize legitimate activities and create a substantial risk of investigation.
9) Members should check with JCPP staff and/or their own counsel if there is any doubt about the propriety of a JCPP program or
subject of discussion.

Election Results
2020 GENERAL
Carl 65%
Averhart 35%
Background
A business-savvy entrepreneur who currently serves as a Mobile County Commissioner, Carl ran to represent a
solidly Republican Alabaman district in the House; pledges allegiance to President Trump and supports
conservative policies including ensuring gun rights, preventing tax increases, and implementing restrictive
immigration policies
A Mobile native, Carl left college in 1978 to enter the workforce and a couple of years later, founded the first of
his many businesses, Stat Medical; expanded the company to seven different locations and sold it to Rotech
Medical, where he served as a regional manager
Established multiple companies, including management groups, development associations, pharmacy services,
and an organization dedicated to buying and selling timberlands
In 2012, he launched his largely self-financed campaign for County Commission after becoming bothered by the
lack of employment opportunities in Mobile, an economy that led his son to reenlist in the Marines; opposed a
tolling initiative to pay for the Mobile River Bridge and Bayway Project and worked to invest settlement money
from the 2010 BP oil spill into infrastructure projects
Defeated former state Senator Bill Hightower (R) in the 2020 Republican Primary by over four percentage points;
Carl’s campaign ads criticized Hightower of affiliating with “Never Trumpers” and claimed he supported higher
taxes
Conservative platform protects gun rights, opposes criminalizing private firearm transfers between friends and
family members, and supports national concealed carry reciprocity; adamantly opposes any federal funding of
Planned Parenthood and pledges to support pro-life legislation
Immigration agenda seeks to fully fund the border wall and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and vocally
opposes establishing sanctuary cities in Alabama; opposes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented
individuals and seeks to establish minimum sentencing requirements for crossing the border without proper legal
status
Promotes instituting a flat tax and a balanced budget amendment, suggesting that congressional members
should forfeit their pay if Congress doesn’t pass a balanced budget on time

Election Results
2020 GENERAL
Harshbarger 75%
Walsingham 22%
Background
A pharmacist and Sunday school teacher representing a heavily conservative constituency in Northeastern
Tennessee
Born in Kingsport and raised in nearby Bloomingdale, spending her entire career in her district; Harshbarger was
a first generation college student and the first in her family to graduate from high school
Graduated from pharmacy school and returned to her district to build a pharmacy business
After Rep. Phil Roe (R-TN1) announced his retirement, Harshbarger joined more than a dozen Republicans in a
crowded GOP primary for a safe district; Harshbarger narrowly defeated a state senator and a state
representative in the 2020 primary, and easily won the general election by more that 50 points
Prioritizes choice in education policy, working to increase trade and technical skills so students can avoid debt
Opposes the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and seeks to make health care more affordable by increasing
transparency for generic drugs; has not published a detailed health platform but supports increased competition
in the health care market
Strongly advocates for religious freedom and pro-life policies

Need for Transformational Strategies An Implementation Science Perspective
Braithwaite et al (2018), when complexity science meets implementation science: a theoretical and empirical analysis of systems change.
How to Overcome Fragmentation?
The key lessons are that change can be stimulated in
many ways, but a triggering mechanism is needed, such as legislation or widespread stakeholder agreement; that feedback loops are crucial to continue change momentum; that extended sweeps of time are involved, typically much longer than believed at the outset; and that taking a systems-informed, complexity approach, having regard for existing networks and socio-technical characteristics, is beneficial.
