RESULTS from the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia's (PSA's) State and Territory Branch Committee elections will see a number of new faces take on leadership positions.
Former National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) Executive Director, Alicia Martin (ACT), was among 21 new faces to be elected to the State and Territory Branch Committees, alongside former Pharmacy Guild of Australia NSW Branch Vice President, Caroline Diamantis (NSW).
The election saw the return of all seven incumbent Branch Presidents, however, a number of senior figures including former NSW Branch President, SI "Charlie" Benrimoj, NSW Branch Vice President, Kristi-Lee Rigby, and Victorian Branch Vice President, Amanda Cross, were among 17 committee members who either stood down or were not re-elected.
The SA/NT Branch saw the largest injection of new blood, with five fresh faces being elected.
PSA CEO, Mark Kinsela, welcomed the new Branch Committees, saying the newly elected members would bring further passion and diversity to the organisation.
"The PSA is thrilled to announce the newly elected members of the Branch Committees and we believe that these appointees will drive the organisation and profession forward," he said.
"The enthusiasm, passion, and talent of all nominees signifies a very promising future for the pharmacy profession."
