Women In BIO – Connecticut Volunteer Info Session

After a successful launch of Executive Women in Bio of CT (EWIB-CT), there is growing interest in forming a local chapter of Women in Bio (WIB) focused solely on CT.  The formation of a chapter would bring at least 10 events per year to the CT audience of women across life sciences, with the ability to tailor content for the interests of this population and ecosystem.  It is an exciting opportunity for CT, and we need to build a coalition of leaders to bring this to life.

If you are interested in being involved with founding the chapter, please attend the following information session and/or reach out for more information email:  info@ewibct.org.
