Every two years, the members of the National Association of Women Pharmacists (NAWP) can elect three Officers to lead the network, who will work alongside the Immediate Past President.
We will be running an election for NAWP Officers in the coming weeks. Three positions are available: President, Vice-President, and Honorary Secretary. Please see below for further details of the roles.

- Liaise with members of PDA staff to plan and deliver a programme of activity
- Chair virtual and in person meetings of the network
- Keep up to date with issues of interest to women pharmacists
- Represent the network at external meetings
- Be the principal spokesperson for NAWP, giving interviews and being quoted in communications as required
- Be a member of the PDA Equalities Council.
Vice-President
The duties and responsibilities of the Vice-President shall be as follows:

The committee will work together following the guidance set out within the PDA Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Networks Remit in order to deliver a programme of activity to help to engage members and grow the network and its influence.
Those wishing to nominate themselves must be members of NAWP in order to be considered for election. NAWP members may apply for more than one role, but can only be successful in one.
Individuals cannot be an elected Officer of more than one EDI network within the PDA simultaneously. It is recommended that Officers are not also Regional Committee or NEC members in order that they may devote adequate time to these substantial roles.
