Society’s President to retire from Council
Nicholas Wood, President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, is to step down from the presidency and retire from the Council at the Society’s annual general meeting in May.
Mr Wood joined the Council as a Save
Our Society candidate in 2003 and
was elected President last year. He had previously been a Council member
from 1985 to 1996 and was president in 1993–94.
Mr Wood said: “Leading the Society over the past year as President
has been a heavy responsibility, albeit one that I have shouldered willingly.
Having had the privilege of being President of the Society twice now,
I feel that with the 2005 elections, the time is right to pass on that
responsibility.”
Now that the issues arising from the 2003 special general meeting have
been resolved, it is time for others to take on the many challenges facing
the Society in the future, he said.
Mr Wood intends to devote more time to his pharmacies and other activities,
including his duties as a Deputy Warden at the Society
of Apothecaries.
He says he stays committed to the Society and its members and hopes to
continue to serve the profession in other ways. |
