The Women in Bio board of directors has voted unanimously to grant chapter status to the vibrant WIB-Connecticut community. Formerly an extension of the WIB-Metro New York chapter, this region met all requirements to become an official chapter of WIB and was granted full chapter status by the board.
“I am very excited to welcome the Connecticut chapter into WIB,” said WIB President and Board Chair, Kayla Valdes, Ph.D. “The Connecticut life sciences ecosystem has affirmed its footing in the biotech community, and the women who will be leading this new chapter have worked tirelessly to build a strong community of life science leaders with a bright future. The WIB board views the addition of this chapter as a valuable asset in our growing organization, which has blossomed to over 3,000 members within the past year.”
