The Future of ISPE:
Young Professionals
Beginning in January of 2011, ISPE rolled out a new initiative to foster the ideas and professional needs of
individuals who consider themselves new in their career or are new to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical
industry. The primary focus of the ISPE Young Professional movement is to foster positive social and business
environments for emerging professionals, with an emphasis on education and training, career/professional
development, and quality networking.
In order to address the needs of YPs, ISPE has created several YP groups around the US. Boston, Carolina –
South Atlantic (CASA), Puerto Rico, Greater Los Angeles, San Diego, New Jersey, New England, and San Francisco
have developed successful young professional groups that engage in a variety of afterhours activities. These
groups are allowing young professionals to have unrestricted opportunities to network with peers, mentors and
other professionals; gain fundamental and advanced knowledge about the industry; and to grow their skills as
needed to become experienced industry professionals and the ISPE leaders of tomorrow.
ISPE knows that new grads are often strapped for cash – paying off student loans and just beginning their career
– so as part of the roll out of the YP initiative, a new dues structure has been implemented for YP members.
Individuals who are within 1-4 years after graduation are eligible to pay only $75 for their ISPE membership.
Now, thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, the Young Professional Committee is pleased to announce that
we have just recruited over 200 Young Professional members! And we would like to keep up this great
momentum! The International YP Committee is challenging all Affiliates and Chapters to go “Fishing for YPs.”
The Affiliate or Chapter who “catches” the most YP Members will be recognized at ISPE’s 2012 Annual Meeting
at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco, California. We would like to encourage all ISPE members to take part
in this fun contest to help us reach our goal of recruiting 200 new Young Professionals by December 31.
Log onto www.ispe.org/VolunteerResourceCenter to access the Young-Professionals-Toolkit for YP specific
applications, flyers, and other ideas on how to recruit YPs
