Thank you for Participating in the 2021 Tech Conference |
|
From the Board
Thanks for Participating in ISPE-CaSA Chapter's 28th Annual Tech Conference
|
|
The ISPE-CaSA Chapter's 28th Annual Life Sciences Technology Conference may have looked a little different this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic shut-downs, but our speakers put on a stellar virtual program that we can be proud of. And it was all made possible by the generosity of our sponsors.
"Race to Recovery" was our conference theme, and we focused on how we as an industry have been able to shift our attention to meet the challenges of COVID-19 through unprecedented collaboration and unparalleled focus on vaccine R&D while maintaining business continuity.
We conducted our first-ever Charitable Causes contest, with each of our Chapter committees sponsoring a local charity. The Women's Center of Raleigh, sponsored by Women in Pharma, was the grand prize winner, with $860 in generous donations from our members and conference participants. The Chapter raised the total to $2,660 which includes an $1,800 bonus contribution from ISPE-CaSA.
Our Chapter also contributed $800 to each of the other featured charities, The Ronald McDonald Charities of North Carolina, The Raleigh Rescue Mission, Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, and Toys for Tots, bringing the grand total of charitable contributions this year to $6,555.

We regret that one of our sponsored videos was unable to play during the conference, so please take a moment to listen to a brief message from Burkert.
Thank you to our sponsors and member companies who have enabled the ISPE-CaSA Chapter to serve our diverse membership despite the pandemic, and have helped us provide informational and educational sessions for the 28th year in a row.
Since Spring is here, please see our lead article about our 2021 Golf Tournament above – grab your golf shoes and come on out to Prestonwood on May 17!
