Events Programming Committee

Purpose

The Programming Committee consults with fellow Oregon Life Sciences committees to develop and facilitate events that support the Association’s mission. These offerings include a variety of in-person networking-focused events, conferences, and online webinars.

The Events Programming Committee works with Oregon Life Sciences to accomplish the following:

• Engaging with the life science community to identify relevant topics for events
• Leveraging connections to source resources, including inviting moderators or speakers, securing judges for pitch competitions, and arranging venue spaces at reduced costs
• Promoting Oregon Life Sciences events through direct contact and social media networks
• Serving as Oregon Life Sciences ambassadors at live events, welcoming attendees and understanding their motivations for attending

Committee members agree to attend one-hour monthly virtual meetings. Optional working groups may require additional meetings for specific events. Committee members are also expected to attend most Oregon Life Sciences events within their region. This committee does not handle detailed event logistics but instead focuses on leveraging its members' collective connections and expertise to inform and support Oregon Life Sciences' programming.
