We, the Emerging Leaders Committee are, at the heart, a group of individuals that share the drive to continually grow with industry knowledge and professional network. This committee consists of individuals that are young in our careers yet recognize the value of being involved in a professional industry group.  Together, we brainstorm ways to engage emerging leaders in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical community.  Primarily, we do this is by creating a combination of social and educational events.  We strive to create events that are relevant to current industry trends as well as events that are just plain fun and engaging.  For example, think trivia night one month and a seminar on negotiating a promotion the next month.  

 

The Emerging Leaders Committee meets about once a month to discuss upcoming events and topics.  Members will research the feasibility of an event, plan, organize, and execute the event.  We also support some of the larger ISPE events, such as the ISPE CASA Annual Technology Conference, the Golf Tournament, and occasionally student chapter events.  Members of the committee share responsibilities by working together to divide tasks according to members’ interests and current availability.  On any given month the committee typically has an in-person meeting, event, and perhaps a virtual meeting to check in on upcoming tasks.  We welcome anyone that would like to be engaged in projects, in the community, or in promoting change to come to a meeting and learn about us. Each individual can determine their level of involvement.  For any information on upcoming events, on joining the committee, or on volunteering contact the ISPE CASA office at emergingleaders@ispecasa.org.
