In 2021 Remember to Support ISPE-CaSA Programs Through Sponsorship, Contributions & Participation |
|
The fact that we are so busy, also means that we have fared very well during this pandemic. Many of our neighbors and our communities have not been so lucky. Please take a look at charitable donation opportunities. We are offering a substantial kicker from the Chapter for whichever charity YOU support the most, as well as equal donations to each charity regardless of your contributions. We’d really like your help to support the local communities in which many of us live and work.
Speaking of donating…don’t forget the Jane Brown Scholarship! Student Chapters in our Chapter are getting the word out to their memberships about the Scholarship. Please support us if you can!
Happy New Year!

Volunteer Opportunities Expand Your Network! |
|
Our ability to reach all corners of our Chapter is improving every day. Virtual connections are becoming the norm.
Online activities help expand ISPE-CaSA's reach and yours too. Even if you are outside the Raleigh-Durham metro area and would like to be more engaged with ISPE, now is a great time to join a committee and work alongside fellow industry professionals in support of our members.
Please view our committees and select your areas of interest:
Another perfect example of a volunteer activity is the timely submission of your abstract and then speaking/presenting at the Technology Conference. The Technology Conference is the best-attended activity within the Chapter, and an opportunity for you to maximize your reach within our Membership.
We’d like to take advantage of technology and better support EVERY member of the Chapter, but need YOUR help to do so! Please send any inquiries to info@ispecasa.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!

“Young Professionals” Changes Name
to “Emerging Leaders”
|
|
Since establishing the ISPE Young Professionals (YPs) community of practice (CoP), this group has evolved from recent graduates into a diverse network of ISPE Members at various levels within their career who are developing into the future leaders for the pharma industry. So, in the New Year, we are thrilled to bring new life to this community and align its moniker to embody the diversity in experience across its members.
We are pleased to announce that through key YP stakeholders' guidance, the ISPE YP community has been renamed ISPE Emerging Leaders. The change in name reflects the growth and maturity of the community.
We cannot wait to see what ISPE Emerging Leaders accomplish in 2021!
