This has been a week of policy. On Sunday, I attended my first CT fundraiser organized by the Power of Women PAC at Sam Nestors lovely home in Weston in support of Lt. Governor Bysiewcz. Monday, I was immensely grateful countless organizations and policy makers convened quickly to host an event at Temple Israel in Westport wherein >1,000 participants joined in person from all faiths and backgrounds. Governor Lamont and Senator Blumenthal spoke of the need not only to stand with Israel but also to protect CT residents.

Tuesday morning was BioCT’s first CFO Roundtable; with a lively discussion on cash conservation in biotech. It was a wonderful chance for me to hear directly from individuals working on this area before our fiscal-focused Legislative Breakfast this coming January.

The entire world changed on Saturday, and while we must remain focused on life sciences in CT, we also need to rally across this great State and support one another as a family we have become by all residing here.
