New PSA executive
August 27, 2010
THE Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia has appointed Lisa
Goldsmith as its newest Vice
President of the Queensland
Branch Committee.
One of the youngest executives
seen at the PSA on a state or
territory level, Goldsmith comes to
the position as an ex-NAPSA
President and Chair of the Qld
Branch Early Career Pharmacist
Working Group.
Goldsmith takes over the position
from Dr Julie Stokes who has
served as Branch Vice President for
the past 12 months.
In announcing Lisa’s
appointment Nissen took the time
to thank Dr Stokes who made the
decision earlier in the year to step
down from the role, saying “Julie’s
contribution has been significant
and I’m thrilled that she remains on
the Committee providing her
enthusiasm and expert knowledge
and skills.”
Goldsmith now joins fellow
branch executive members
University of Qld Professor, Dr Lisa
Nissen, President and accredited
pharmacist and community
pharmacy owner, Bruce Elliot,
Branch Vice President.
“I believe this is a strong
foundation for us to work from to
help PSA members and the
profession now and into the
future,” Nissen said.
“The balance we have is a really
good one with the breadth of the
profession represented,” she added.
Speaking about the new
committee make-up Nissen said
that she felt it was a “positive
reflection of the enthusiasm of Early
Career Pharmacists and their desire
to contribute to the profession at
the highest levels.”
