The Chesapeake Bay Area Chapter of ISPE was established in 1994 to meet the needs of the growing pharmaceutical and biotech industries in the area. Today, the chapter continues to support the local industries and provides education, training and networking events to members and non-members alike. Our local Chapter Board of Directors is made up of industry leaders who care about strengthening the regional industry and advancing education of our regional workforce.
