On April 10, compounders split into three groups, each of which would meet with seven state legislators of various parties, backgrounds, and influence (and/or their staff). Those meetings ran from 9:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., and each focused on introducing the the legislator to the world of compounding and to raise attention to issues compounders have with the California Board of Pharmacy.
