THE National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association (NAPSA) held its Annual General Meeting over the weekend, with Verity Boustead named as President for the 2021/22 NAPSA term.
The meeting was conducted virtually at 10am on Sat, due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions across the nation.
Boustead is currently in her fourth year as a Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)/Master of Pharmacy student at Melbourne's Monash University.
Seven other Executive Directors were also elected at the meeting:
* Georgia Bridges, RMIT University Melbourne;
* Ellie Hawkins, Queensland University of Technology;
* Samantha King, University of Queensland;
* Jack Papworth, University of Newcastle;
* Flynn Swift, Queensland University of Technology;
* Forrest Tang, University of Newcastle; and
* Alexandra Ward, University of South Australia.
Boustead said: "it is a privilege to be elected as the 2021/22 President alongside such a highly qualified team of Executive Directors...I am very excited to work with the Board to continue advancing the excellent work that NAPSA does for our members".
She takes over from Immediate Past President, Ethan Kreutzer, who said he was confident that the newly elected team would be able to achieve great things for NAPSA.
"I step down knowing that the association is in good hands," he said, thanking the NAPSA Advisory Council, all of the organisation's sponsors and the wider pharmacy industry for its continued support.
"Without this support, NAPSA would not have been able to provide ongoing exciting opportunities for pharmacy students," Kreutzer concluded.
