• Identifying legislative and regulatory preparedness issues affecting distributor members;
• Discussing best practices and formulating guidance accordingly,
• Coordinating with government/public health entities,
• Developing strategies to ensure the continuity of the supply chain, and
• Disseminating relevant information.
