KPhA Day with the Legislature

The backbone of KPhA’s legislative and public policy efforts, the annual Day with the Legislature brings pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and student pharmacists together to engage in face-to-face grassroots advocacy with Kansas lawmakers. It provides an opportunity to meet with representatives and senators at the Kansas State Capitol and help advance our priorities into this year’s legislative session!

2024 Event

Information on the 2024 KPhA Day with the Legislature will be provided as soon as it becomes available.

What to expect

Generally, the day is filled with meetings (one-on-one and groups) with your lawmakers. You will need to make appointments with their offices prior to the event. KPhA will provide you with talking points for our priority issue(s), as well as handouts that you can leave with them. You have the opportunity to attend committee meetings and see the House and Senate in action from the gallery. Pharmacy students in attendance have hosted a Health Fair in the rotunda in addition to showcasing their pharmacy research.


Lunch is provided and you are encouraged to invite your legislators to dine with us.

Getting around + parking

The Statehouse has an underground parking facility along its north side just off 8th Street. Parking here is free, but space is limited and generally fills up quickly each morning. The City of Topeka operates garages at Crosby Place, 108 SW 8th St., and Centre City, 825 S Kansas Ave., which are the most convenient locations to park. Metered parking also is available on the street around the capitol. Please note: Construction at the Docking State Office Building, 10th and Harrison, is causing some road closures along Harrison Street.
