The PSG is an independent and self supporting organization run by volunteers. All events are organized by volunteers who give their own time to provide PSG members with timely educational opportunities to advance their professional development. Be they professional or personal, there are many reasons to become a PSG volunteer. Volunteers have the opportunity to develop skills that they may not have had a chance to develop in their regular jobs, meet fellow members of the pharmaceutical industry and expand their professional and personal networks. Committees and the Board of Directors are composed of volunteers from the general membership who meet once a month in the evening at the PSG office.
