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!
