Join us in congratulating the 2026-27 Phi Lambda Sigma Board of Directors! We are so incredibly excited for the upcoming academic year. Here are a few words from them on why they decided to run and the great energy they will bring to the Society in our future!
Michelle Weisman: I was encouraged to run after being surrounded by PLS leaders who supported me, challenged me, and helped me see my own potential. After our summer retreat, I came home energized and clearly glowing about PLS, and my husband and son noticed right away. They reminded me that this work truly fills my cup, and with their encouragement, stepping into this role felt like the right challenge.
Mackenzie Harris: One of my mentors, Dr. Jordan Ballou, encouraged me to run for a position with PLS. After researching about the Member-at-Large position I realized this was an opportunity I would really enjoy and be able to make a difference through.
Jasmin Schaefer: I was encouraged to run for the MAL position because Phi Lambda Sigma has played a meaningful role in my own leadership growth. Through my involvement, I’ve seen how supportive, value driven leadership can empower others. I want to give back by supporting our members, fostering connection, and helping create opportunities that allow everyone to grow and lead in their own way.
Jaclyn Moreno: Two years ago, I applied to PLS to surround myself with diverse minds who are committed to growing as future leaders within our profession. As I conclude my term as President of the Gamma Xi Chapter at UIW and prepare to enter my P4 year, I felt called to continue serving our organization to help strengthen connection, mentorship, and leadership development for the next generation of pharmacist leaders within PLS.
Natalie Percival: I was encouraged to run for this position to challenge myself with a “big-L” leadership role and make a broader impact on the profession. I want to show new practitioners the importance of leadership early in their careers and inspire students to remain engaged post-graduation. This role provides the platform to create innovative initiatives, strengthen connections across generations, and advance PLS’s mission of cultivating leadership and empowering lifelong leaders.
Madeline Frellick: After serving as the PLS Speaker of the House last year, I was determined to remain involved with the Society after graduation and into my professional career. My transition from student leader to resident has given me an understanding of the challenges new practitioners face in remaining connected to professional organizations, and serving as the New Practitioner Member at Large will allow me to help address that challenge.
