Recently 50 women met in person for the second rendition of an annual summit connecting female biotech CEOs. The attendance list doubled that of the inaugural gathering in Arizona 12 months ago.
The group helps members source executives for their biotech companies, find new board members, assess what sort of compensation packages to offer their scientific advisors, connect founders to investors, form new ventures together, and craft letters calling for action on reproductive rights.
The weekend gathering was a packed 9-to-9 schedule of self-led sessions on leadership, CEO best practices and other topics interspersed with outdoor meals, informal conversations and get-to-know-yous.
