Officer Candidates for 2008-2009

President

 
  • Tabitha Purice

I would like to run for the position of the Pre-Pharmacy Society President because I would love to help others discover the wonderful things that this field has to offer.  I am extremely passionate about this career and I feel that this is the perfect opportunity for me to get more involved by doing something I am sure to enjoy.  I believe that I am the perfect candidate for this position because I have been taking all of the right steps to educate myself about pharmacy, from taking courses and researching the subject to job shadowing and working along trained professionals.  As far as having the necessary leadership skills for this position, I feel this is a natural ability for me.  I have excellent interpersonal skills from working in an industry that calls for constant interaction with other people.  My plans for next year are a whole lot more involvement from the Pre-Pharmacy Society members.  I want everyone to feel like they have a unique role in this society.  I would like to create projects and events that everyone can enjoy and that every member can be part of.  Over the course of time, I would hope for everyone in our Pre-Pharmacy Society to grow close with one another while simultaneously gaining an active role in our community.

Vice President

 
  • Jennifer Farmer

I had been wanting to take a more active role in the society since last fall.  I have participated in many events this year and I really like getting to know more pre-pharmacy students.  I used to be in a few leadership positions in high school and I miss planning and coordinating different events.  I am ready to take on more responsibility in the pre-pharmacy society by being an officer.

Secretary

 
  • Jen Garber

I would like to take on a position in the Pre-Pharmacy society, because I have really enjoyed the last year of being a member.  I have learned a lot from it, and I would like to have a hand in helping others learn more as well.  I have held many leadership positions in my past and current activities, and I have been Secretary in my sorority (Delta Delta Delta).  I would love to take a leadership role in this group, and be an active leader and contributor.

  • Jing Chen

I am running for the position of secretary for the Pre-Pharmacy Society because I would like to use my skills from past leadership roles to enhance the experience of other members. In 2006-2007, I was the Oregon State Secretary of a national professional organization called Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). I was responsible for finding sponsors, running workshops to recruit new members, communicating with advisors all over Oregon, keeping minutes, and planning the Oregon HOSA Leadership Conference in which students competed in over 50 healthcare-related events and were recognized for their achievements. As secretary, I hope to recruit more members to join this society and take advantage of the unique opportunities that are offered by this group.

Treasurer

 
  • Kala Berkey

The Pre-Pharmacy Society enables us to take a dynamic path toward our common career goal. This is one reason why I am a member, and also why I seek to work in greater depth within the club. Previously, I have had experience in various leadership positions, including secretary of my class in high school. During the summer, I work as an office assistant, where I am responsible for money and accounting. Overall, I would say that I am positive and dependable. I would love the opportunity to be an officer in the Pre-Pharmacy Society.

For those interested in running, contact moukallk@onid.orst.edu, with your first and last names and a short paragraph answering, why are you running for your position, what makes you a good candidate, and what plans/goals do you have for next year?
