MICHAEL Hammond, from Auckland, has been elected last week as the new President of the Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand (PSNZ).
The two other elected officers were Brooke McKay as Vice President and Bronwen Shepherd as Treasurer.
With McKay set to take parental leave, Sandy Bhawan will step in as acting Vice President until the annual elections in Nov.
The election follows the resignation of former President Rhiannon Braund and NEC member Paul Larson.
An election was held to fill the two vacancies created by their resignations with Callum Porter and Amanda Stanfield elected to the National Executive Committee.
Hammond expressed eagerness to address the "significant challenges and opportunities" facing PSNZ and its diverse membership representing pharmacists and technicians.
