The Best Career Decision You'll Ever Make
Joining the ISPE Boston Area Chapter was a great career decision for me. It introduced me to fantastic members who share the same drive to learn about the industry, to teach others about what they know, and have fun after a long day at work.
Howard Sneider
Lead Process/Project Engineer, Nitto Denko Avecia Inc.
ISPE has had a lasting impact on me. Of course, I have learned a great deal about the pharmaceutical world—but most importantly I have made many friends.
Doyle Johnson
Principal, Science & Technology, Stantec
ISPE Boston Area Chapter and PDA New England Chapter individually are vital industry organizations—and when they collaborate they bring forward-thinking programs to the combined membership of both organizations, offering unique opportunities to network, and share industry advancements, trends and best practices.
Laurie Masiello

I credit meeting many of my career goals to my association with ISPE. I come out of every ISPE event with a renewed sense of purpose after interacting with people working on innovative solutions for the betterment of humanity. And I always look forward to the next event where I can exchange ideas about the latest happenings in the pharma industry.

Surrounding ourselves with “the best of the best” resources is paramount to achieving predictable outcomes. ISPE is the conduit to access great resources...SMEs, vendors, subcontractors, educational knowledge, plus it’s fun!

Connections, Resources and Information Galore! Everyone I’ve ever met through ISPE is willing to share what they know and who they know—friendliest bunch of life science nerds you’ll ever meet in New England! If you aren’t involved with ISPE Boston and you want a career in life sciences, you need to be here!
Caren Jenkins
Business Development Coordinator, CRB
I have been an active volunteer since 2001. When I moved to Ireland on assignment, I was invited to participate in European-based ISPE groups. Having a 'built in' ISPE network helped my transition to a new country. ISPE has given me lifelong friends and an amazing professional network.
